So surprise to read it...
I'm a 38 year old bodybuilder. I'm 6'2 and around 230 lbs. ive always had gluteal amnesia but never really knew what it was until recently. I have moderate arthritis in my low back with an l5/s1 discectomy. I recently discovered the AMAZING power of stretching though but the BEST way to stretch. For me, i feel like my weak glutes are the reason for my lumbar arthritis or at least contributed to it. but i recently discovered that stretching makes my day to day life SO MUCH EASIER. Please take care of your hips. It makes such a huge difference

Awesome! The best explanation I have seen on the web on this subject. The informal diagnostic tests drive home a reality that many are in denial about. YOU ROCK. Thank you so much.

I have like 90% of the symptoms here, only one I dont have is the Numb Butt Syndrome. I also notice when I do Squats or Hip Thrusts I really only feel it in my Quads and Hamstrings, and as far as Achy goes its my Lower Back and Knees. I definitely need to awaken my Glutes

Thank you for this video. I tried single leg lifting with the hill up to the ceiling to activate glutes and only after one repetition (10 times lifting the leg) I started getting a pinching sensation in my groin and in glutes, this is happening with me each time I try to activate my glutes. What is the problem and how can I strengthen glutes if I get constant pain with as simple exercise as the one I mentioned. Thank you for your help.

I can't diagnose what is happening I'm afraid. I would suggest you seek advice from a physical therapist who can assess you and offer guidance.

I am a driver for a living and in the last 6 months ive experienced lower back pain and was diagnosed as having QL tightness and they gave me some excersizes but should i consider the glutes too

Yes you can do. The glutes form part of the stabilisation of the core. It's worth watching my mini series on core stability too (3 shorts videos, 2 are out already, 1 more this Friday).

Thanks for the video sir. Occasionally while running I feel getting collapsed a bit on one leg especially while doing sprint repetitions so what might be the cause for it? Week glutes, bad knees,week hamstrings or something else?

Weak glute medius most likely. I have this too. They stabilize the hip while shifting weight from one leg to the other. If its weak, your knee might buckle occasionally or you'll feel like your hip is collapsing

@@bigbear5767 thanks. So what exercises are you doing to strengthen it?
I have EXTREMELY tight hip flexors. Have for years now. It's starting to really aggravate my knees now as well to the point I don't even want to walk. With my hip flexors being tight for 15+ years now will it be possible to reverse? Also, will doing the glute exercises make my hip flexors tighter? I really want to figure all this out and it's affecting my quality of life tremendously. Thanks!!

No, strengthening your glutes won't tighten your hip flexors, but you might need to strengthen your hip flexors. I am thinking of doing an quick video on this as it's an overlooked muscle.
When will you do a video on fractured hip

No plans on this but I have done a video on a total hip replacement which would be similar once you've recovered and can be mobile. Take a look here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g6eTsq6AkryclbA.html
Is it possible for the tight lower back muscles to also be in a lengthened state? And possibly weak as well?

Not quite sure what this question means?
Does weak glutes also cause calf twitches when you sit? I feel my calf twitches mainly when I sit down or lie down still for a few minutes
