Anatomy of the Gluteus Maximus (Outtake from Functional Anatomy Workshop)

Glorious Maximus. This is my favorite muscle. Well, can you blame me? By the time I get done talking about it, you'll understand why. All right. So by gluteus medius goes from sacrum and posterior ilium, right? So this area here? Sacrum and posterior ilium. It's insertion is the iliotibial band and then something called the gluteal tuberosity on the femur. So it's a huge muscle on the back of my hip. What is it going to do if it's on the back of my head? extension Now it has an obliquity to it, right? a diagonal pull which means it's also going to do what? external rotation good Now the question to bear in mind is how important is hip extension. Really important good call why? Defend your answer. It pulls you back from an anterior pelvic tilt sure. So people who have anterior public tilts also have something called droopy glute syndrome. Right you guys ever like I know some of you guys probably are already complaining about this. You're like, I just can't get my glutes tight. Yeah, you can't get your glutes tight because the reciprocally inhibited from an overactive so as and it doesn't matter how many squats you do. They're inhibited. Another course another course altogether that we could get into. But let's talk about hip extension in terms of function. I dare I challenge any one of you in this class to get out of your chair without hip extension. Go ahead. Think about it for a second. I didn't say fall out of your chair. I meant from chair to stand without hip extension. Get out of your chair the Coke. I'm out. Can you do it? What is walking? Hip extension what's getting upstairs? Hip extension what's running? Hip extension, right? What's jumping? Hip extension do we ever do anything without hip extension? And then we talk about The Eccentric function. So The Eccentric function of any muscle is to reduce Force. Think about getting stairs. When you get down stick go downstairs, your body accelerates at 9.8 meters per second squared times the mass of your body weight. right How much force is that Force equals mass times acceleration? Yes, I'm that nerdy. I told you guys. All right, so you have four sequels mass times acceleration. So think about it, if a stairs 12 inches, we don't have to figure out the math. You have a third of a meter at 9.8 meters per second squared. Of your entire body weight. Is that a lot of force to have to reduce. Well, who would who resists my leg from going up into flexion so that I don't step down the stair and do this. Right, who does that? But good. It's your glute that stops you from going into hip flexion. Does that make sense? so it's your primary mechanism of propulsion. your glute Max it's the primary reducer of force. in your daily life So I ask who would want a smaller butt. Doesn't even make sense. Your glutes are probably the most important muscle on your body when it just comes to functional daily activity getting through day-to-day life. There is no more important muscle than your glutes. I tell everybody who comes and sees me I want you to act. like you want Beyoncé sized glutes that's what you need to do. You need to hypertrophy your glutes as much as you possibly can. Are you ever going to have a huge ass if you put the work in? Not the type of huge ass that people are scared of right? People are people are afraid of this type of butt. Right, not this type of butt. You want to hypertrophy glutes as much as you can if you look at athletes, there's no such thing as a great athlete with a small butt. Look around and say watch the T the most athletic individuals round glutes. Because think about how important that is the sport you can't Sprint. You can't start you can't stop. Just kind of important. Now do you get whether my favorite muscles? And yes, they hold your pants on and they're kind of fun to look at. All right gluteus medius. Does everybody know where their gluteus medius is?
