WHAT IS THE GLUTEUS AND ITS FUNCTION
What is traditionally known as the "gluteus" is actually a complex made up of the gluteus maximus, medius and minimus. They are the strongest and most powerful muscles in the human body, they play an important role in basic day-to-day movements, such as walking, running, jumping, lifting things off the ground, stabilizing the body structure, etc. As its name suggests, the gluteus maximus is the largest. In fact, it is the largest muscle in the entire body. They have multiple origins, including the ilium, coccyx, sacrum, and pelvis, and insert on the iliotibial band and femur. That is why they perform in a wide variety of movements.
Unfortunately, this large muscle now remains asleep almost all day. Its main function seems to be to cushion our long hours of sitting. Modern life damages its aesthetics and inhibits its function.
WHY TRAIN GLUTEUS WITH PULLEY?
As we have mentioned previously, to strengthen and train your glutes with pulley anklets, improving our glutes is not enough to train isolated movements, we will also need polyarticular exercises with adequate weights and making progress in the loads we lift. However, isolating the muscle with pulley exercises will be a very effective way to achieve the results you want, since it allows you to concentrate the exercise only on the muscle in question and cancel out the action of other muscles, something that you will not achieve with polyarticular exercises. obtain.
HOW MANY DAYS A WEEK SHOULD I TRAIN GLUTEUS TO IMPROVE?
