The Real Reason Your Glutes Aren't Growing (Most Women Miss This)

If your lower back always takes over during squats, RDLs, or glute training, your lower back may not be the problem. In this video, I explain why poor pelvic stability—not weak glutes or bad exercise selection—is often the hidden reason behind lower back pain and stalled glute growth. I break down why avoiding core engagement to keep a "small waist" can actually increase injury risk, reduce force production, and limit muscle growth. I also share the simple assessment that completely changed my training, why the 90/90 curl-up is one of my favorite tools for improving pelvic stability, and how learning to brace correctly can help you lift heavier, protect your lower back, and build better glutes. If you're struggling with lower back pain, glute activation, pelvic stability, or progressing your lower body training, this episode will help you identify the root cause and train more effectively.
