Muscle outlines from Body Muscles by Ivan Vulović, Apache 2.0 — regrouped and recoloured for Muscle Train.
Brace your core, press knees outward against the band. Drive through your heels to lift hips, squeezing your glutes. Maintain a straight line from shoulders to knees at the top. Pause, then slowly lower hips with control, keeping band tension.
To effectively engage the glutes, actively push your knees outward against the resistance band throughout the movement, ensuring consistent tension. Focus on squeezing your glutes powerfully at the top of the movement to maximize muscle activation and achieve a strong contraction. Drive forcefully through your heels to initiate the hip lift and maintain stability, preventing knee collapse. Maintain a neutral spine throughout the exercise, avoiding arching or rounding of the back to protect your lower back and ensure proper form. Fully extend your hips at the top of the movement, creating a straight line from your shoulders to your knees, to achieve maximum glute engagement and range of motion.
