And what you just described yesterday and took me through was incredible because I could really feel the activation.
And I can really sense how it stabilizes the pelvis and does all the great things that people can look up that Glute Medius does.
So thank you for that.
Although we're mainly talking about the glutes, you've also been giving us a beautiful description of how to prioritize a lagging muscle group.
It just so happens that the glutes are lagging for most people.
Let's transfer that to essentially any muscle group with the understanding that different muscle groups have different needs, right?
Different size muscle groups recover more or less.
It can handle different volumes.
We certainly don't have time to get into all the details of that.
And it's highly individual as well.
But what I'm taking away from what you've said so far is that if one does a really honest assessment of their development, their aesthetic development, their strength development,
There almost always is one or two body parts that are lagging that need help.
that aesthetically or functionally or strength-wise or all of the above are behind the rest of the body.
I think men more than women, in my observation, tend to focus a lot on their stronger lifts in the gym.
Like, oh, if they can bench a lot and they've got really, you know, a lot of chest development, they'll like bench a lot.
I always want to pull them aside.
Like, listen, like lay off the benches.
You see these guys with like heavy lower pec development, no upper pec development, or just...
like huge chest and then like pipe arms and no forearms.
And you just kind of want to be like, listen, man, like, is it really that necessary to like lean into your strengths that much?
