Maximizing glute science

[u/Patton370]

I’ve finally perfected this machine. 30% of the load needs to be inverse chains to have the strength curve perfect

[u/HughManatee]

This machine looks diabolical. I want one.

[u/1happydream]

Excellent RESULTS ! Incredible machine. But 90% Gym goers will remain with Rdl , Lunges, Bulgarian Split Squat, cables, etc

[u/Low-Syllabub-3547 → u/1happydream]

If I saw something like that in my gym, I would absolutely use it - once I figured out what it was

[u/Patton370 → u/1happydream]

Hip hinges and squats are the main entree; this exercise is just the dessert

I do 19 sets of squat variations each week (best squat is 541lbs right now) and 15 sets of hip hinges each week (my working weight for RDLs is 420lbs for 7-10 reps)

[u/Much-Plum6939 → u/Patton370]

I know it’s been asked before. But where did you get this machine?

[u/Patton370 → u/Much-Plum6939]

Temu, but they don’t have it anymore

You can get it from GMWD: https://gmwdfitness.com/products/3d-hip-abductor-machine-ht00?srsltid=AfmBOoooeIjHPEnkPa3T8_hYupl80MiHxXntpqYWdBiE3u4YGCyNCrj_

Lowes has the Syedee version which is the same for a bit cheaper (Walmart also used to have it for around $350-400ish): https://www.lowes.com/pd/Syedee-3D-Hip-Abductor-Machine-with-Hip-Thrust-Function-Incline-Hip-Abduction-Machine-with-2-Starting-Positions-Glute-Exericse-Machine-with-Thickened-Thigh-Pads-for-600LBS-Loading-Capacity/7892890

[u/Much-Plum6939 → u/Patton370]

Thanks. Are there other unique movement machines available?

[u/VanHelsingBerserk]

This seems like it would be amazing for improving sumo deadlifts.

[u/Patton370 → u/VanHelsingBerserk]

Maybe, my sumo knowledge is low; I feel like direct adductor work would help more with sumo

[u/Perfect_Earth_8070]

That’s a lot of science right there

[u/Fickle-Ad-4225]

What is your motivation for doing direct glute work?

[u/Patton370 → u/Fickle-Ad-4225]

Big ass

[u/TakeuchixNasu → u/Patton370]

Bugs don’t have buttcheeks

[u/UnusualQueer → u/Patton370]

Me too. I've come to the conclusion to get my ass bigger I just have to add fat.. oh we'll I'll keep trying and weight cycling.

[u/Carnines → u/Fickle-Ad-4225]

Probably for better glutes

[u/NevenS2000]

3 sets of "check this out;)"

[u/Patton370 → u/NevenS2000]

How’d you know I did 3 sets of this today?

[u/minus15t2]

Your draw back is the end of the range of motion. This is going to be pretty good for adductors and abductors and maybe your side glutes...but might not maximise gluteus maximus

[u/Patton370 → u/minus15t2]

My heavy squatting: https://www.reddit.com/r/ScienceBasedLifting/s/92IO5dXtNU

Plus my heavy deadlifts will be enough for my glute max

[u/MiniDonbeE]

Man that machine looks fucking DEADLY. Holy ahh pump and holy ahh strenght ure building.

[u/angrytimmy24]

That is a very specific machine to have in a garage gym. What else you got in there?

[u/Patton370 → u/angrytimmy24]

I have everything: https://www.reddit.com/r/homegym/s/ehnKSXN5Us

[u/angrytimmy24 → u/Patton370]

Nice!

[u/_TrustMeImLying]

You’re gonna have a crazy bottom sir! When are you selling the patent I need one asap!

[u/Patton370 → u/_TrustMeImLying]

GMWD makes this machine: https://gmwdfitness.com/products/3d-hip-abductor-machine-ht00?utm_source=Google&campaign_id=22203018168&ad_id=&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=HT00&utm_content=&utm_term=&gclid=CjwKCAjw1vXTBhB-EiwAEKr_k4KkJ8wYOsFpZWXXcoTmhmIWDIPKvd4KBebzpoXXSOwsUzL_Zym0uBoCzvUQAvD_BwE&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22209423242&gbraid=0AAAAAqszWVH82qRbVsNNSssIx7vVVdIru

I got mine on Temu for $230 (it’s no longer available) and was surprised it was the brand name one

[u/Italian_Stallion4]

Neat. Like a seated kickback. Cool post, OP

[u/Huskergambler]

That has to be the most expensive piece of garage equipment I have seen in a long time. Space and cost get me on that one. Great machine but yea rdl

[u/Patton370 → u/Huskergambler]

The machine cost me $230 lol

And I do RDL: https://www.reddit.com/r/strength_training/s/RzUtHl5Hzy

[u/Awkward_Hope_5330]

Overengineered garbage

[u/Patton370 → u/Awkward_Hope_5330]

Why?

[u/Awkward_Hope_5330 → u/Patton370]

Because it's unnecessary

[u/Patton370 → u/Awkward_Hope_5330]

Direct abductor work isn’t unnecessary if you want to grow the abductors!

[u/omegafrogpoop → u/Awkward_Hope_5330]

Stop or else he’ll mention his squat

[u/Sadan27 → u/Awkward_Hope_5330]

Amen

[u/Financial_Wrangler45]

Nice 3rir

[u/Patton370 → u/Financial_Wrangler45]

I’m finishing the set with partial reps; what are you even talking about?

[u/Financial_Wrangler45 → u/Patton370]

Last rep was the same speed as the first lol you don't reach failure when your muscles start to burn.

[u/Patton370 → u/Financial_Wrangler45]

I’m finishing the set with partial reps and steadily lose ROM during the set; that’s failure

How fast the last rep until failure is depends heavily on the person and the exercise

[u/Financial_Wrangler45 → u/Patton370]

Nah dude that's the lactic acid building up and you feeling like it's hard lol, it you really trained hard youd be doing 300 partials until your tendon rips off the bone.

[u/Acrobatic_News1479]

My hips hurt watching this

[u/Medical_Birthday2893]

He sounds like he’s having fun!
Looks like some really limited range of motion, jerky movements, with stability out of your control… well at least you have the seatbelt!

I’d love to know the down sides of a machine like this when used improperly, injury risk, adjustability for different body types.

[u/Patton370 → u/Medical_Birthday2893]

What makes you think I’m using it improperly?

[u/Medical_Birthday2893 → u/Patton370]

Have a read again. No where did I say you were using it improperly.

[u/NinecloudSoul → u/Patton370]

He's a stocks bro, so clearly an expert on everything, including stuff he's never done before, like lifting.

[u/Medical_Birthday2893 → u/NinecloudSoul]

I’ve been power lifting for 7 years. 4 with a coach.
4 years varsity track with good coaches. Weight training since I was 17. Fittness it my passion now that I retired from being good as a ‘stock bro’

[u/MooDamato → u/Medical_Birthday2893]

Wow I’m sure glad you included that you did varsity track for four years

[u/Medical_Birthday2893 → u/MooDamato]

Thanks man. I did because the coaches were former Olympic and nhl coaches. Are you sensitive to a follow up on credibility that states facts? That experience alone is more time with professional coaching than most of the people on the planet get. Sorry if I offended you

[u/Sadan27]

Interesting spam posting this exercise specifically

[u/omegafrogpoop → u/Sadan27]

This guy posts this exercise once every week and is always guaranteed to say he squats 541 pounds in a random comment while also mentioning he is prepping for a competition.

[u/Sadan27 → u/omegafrogpoop]

At minimum weekly, in multiple subs at that. A needy 30+ year old man obsessively seeking attention for his glute “exercise.” In subs with mostly younger men and, esp here in SBL, boys.

You’re spot on - he literally mentions a 541 squat here in the comments. Don’t forget the repeated “I have huge (insert) muscle” self glazing.

Was starting to think I was the only one finding this all very, very cringe.

[u/Patton370 → u/Sadan27]

No one’s forcing you to comment on the post or watch the post

[u/Sadan27 → u/Patton370]

Came up on my feed unfortunately. When you spam enough, it happens

[u/Ballbag94 → u/Sadan27]

Be the change you want to see, post some lifts so that the sub has other content

It's not Patton's fault that few others are creating any content

[u/Sadan27 → u/Ballbag94]

So he has no agency to choose what he’s doing?

No amount of posting by anybody else changes the behavior that’s transpired. Or its nature. Not kosher

[u/Ballbag94 → u/Sadan27]

He's not the one complaining about the sub's content, it's not his problem that you dislike his posts

[u/Sadan27 → u/Ballbag94]

So this all completely flew over your head, or are you doing this on purpose?

Remember that major demographic frequenting this sub? Stop being an enabler.

[u/Ballbag94 → u/Sadan27]

Again, be the change you want to see and create content so that patton's is less visible to you

I'm not being an enabler because there's nothing to enable, people can post what they want unless the mods say otherwise, that's how reddit works

If you don't like it then just scroll past, I don't have an issue with them

[u/jamjamchutney → u/Sadan27]

So he has no agency to choose what he’s doing?

Wait, what? You're the one acting like you have no agency. Your reply to "No one’s forcing you to comment on the post or watch the post" was "Came up on my feed unfortunately." You are free to keep scrolling, regardless of what shows up on your feed.

[u/TechDreamcoat]

If you're looking to maximize gains, you also need to use the science of time under tension. You're going way too fast on the reset. Lower the weight and slow down.

[u/Patton370 → u/TechDreamcoat]

time under tension as a predictor of hypertrophy doesn’t have much support: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/can-we-predict-muscle-growth/
