The Glute Truth: Developing Stronger Better Functioning Glutes
The Glute Truth presentation will have us examine the functional anatomy and science behind glute training to give a perspective of performance and fitness based programming. During the session we will break down how we use the science to create successful progressions and systems for the athlete and strength coach. We will look how we take even the classic strength exercises and address the real need of functional glute training to enhance performance and build greater injury resiliency.
