This conversation details high-level glute mechanics and navigating common industry misconceptions. We discuss how anabolics frequently mask flawed lifting form in bodybuilding and why many trainers rely on high junk volume when coaching quality is low. Cory breaks down her personal shift away from heavy hip thrusts toward unilateral movements like B-stance RDLs and split squats to improve pelvic and hip stability , detailing why nervous system shaking is a neurological joint trust issue rather than physical failure.
Additionally, the discussion addresses the flaws of popular female core trends like overhead plate marches , the mechanical difference between sucking in and true core bracing , and how chasing extreme stage posture can lock down the rib cage and freeze necessary thoracic rotation. Finally, Cory lists her Mount Rushmore of overrated glute exercises, highlighting the mechanical limitations of movements like reverse frog pumps, specific Smith machine variations, and unnecessary knee band loops.
