What Specifically to Do for Glute Imbalances?

[ucimigrate]

I was doing some leg swings as warm-ups. It was harder to do it with my left leg swinging.

I remember that it seems this glute is always weaker, despite being right handed. My guess is lateral pelvic tilt has something to do with this.

What can I do to diagnose and correct such an imbalance?

Glute Ham raise.

You don't need to diagnose anything. Just stick with a balanced training program, make sure you do some single leg work (lunges, step ups, split squats) and maybe some extra glute and/or hip bridges if you really feel the glutes are weak and call it a day.

If at that point you really still think it is an issue then find a qualified sports PT to look at you and give you a plan.

Single leg hip thrusts, torso and leg both elevated so your butt can be down below both for starting point. Just started with my coach and I can tell hip/glute strength is going to be a big part of the program(should help considering my disc issues). Did these this week for the first time and they’re brutal.
