Hi all,
I have been reading all this stuff explaining how no matter how strong you think your glutes are, they could probably always be stronger. I have been on a search for many indicator lifts trying to determine when someone's glutes are strong enough and handling as much of the load as they are supposed to.
I always used to just compare how my deadlift numbers matched up with my full squat to measure my hamstring / glute / quad balance. I always wanted my squat to be within 100 pounds of my deadlift.
Also, I watched a video of louie simmons explaining how if you want to squat 600, just do the same workout as someone who can squat 600, and if you cant do the same weight on the other exercises they do, then that is where you need to work on. Example used was weighted reverse hyperextentions.
One of these exercises I thought might be good to start trying to progress with the squat and deadlift was the glute bridge.
How close should a glute bridge be to a deadlift in order to determine if there is any type of muscle imbalance or weakness?
Right now my PR deadlift is 575 at 185 pounds. 2 days ago I glute bridged 405 for 15. Should I be able to glute bridge way more or less than that?
