Threshold Physical Therapy and Performance

• • • • •
The ability to recruit high-threshold motor units increases more after strength training with a maximal effort on every rep compared to after strength training with a slow and controlled tempo (noting that such a slow and controlled tempo is not possible on the final reps of a set, which are necessarily performed with maximal efforts because of increasing fatigue).

A common flaw with the glute bridge exercise (and hip thrusts) is thinking that you need to go as far as possible, as far as your body will go.⠀
⠀
But keep in mind, the goal here is the glutes, not the low back. So the exercise should really be performed to extend you hips and NOT your back.⠀
⠀
To help with this, really tighten your core during the exercise and focus on squeezing your glutes. Then, simply stop the motion when the glutes are done squeezing. Resist the urge to continue by hyperextending at your back.⠀
