February 03 2026
Bad glute activation is never a consequence of the muscle not being neurologically “switched on”. The glutes are crazy strong, capable of producing huge amounts of force. The heart of the issue, however, is that this force needs a safe way to be transferred to the ground and to the load.

In spite of a widespread hyperfixation on nailing the perfect arm angle, lagging development of the "lower" (or "costal") division of the pec is exceedingly common amongst the bodybuilding crowd. The missing ingredient here is costal rib position: the key lynchpin of creating pec tension.
