A New Revelation

Calcgirl — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 09:12:50 GMT

I went to PT today and the Physical Therapist commented that my glutes were super tight. I told her too bad those tight glutes did appear on the exterior of my buttocks and she lost it .

I'm on my 2nd cup of coffee so my brain is working at 90% and I think she meant she wishes her butt was nice and tight like her glutes. I left 10% room for error in case I'm wrong.

Ummm, glutes and butt are the same thing. I don't get what the OP is saying either.

The glutes, or gluteal muscles, can become tight after too much sitting, overuse, or overexertion in athletic performance. Tight glutes can lead to a number of other injuries, so it's important to warm them up well before exercising. It's also important to stretch your glutes after you work out.

I get it! My translation is that INSIDE her glute muscels may be tight, but they are not showing that on the OUTSIDE. I think she's just saying she wishes her behind were firmer.

@Calcgirl If you've built muscle to tighten your glutes, you'd have one good looking butt. If glutes are just tight without having exercised them, it can cause lower back pain, tight hamstrings, etc. Stretching helps.

Hot diggity, I did not know that! I thought they were in the front somewhere from the waist up. Thanks for straightening me out!

Stress and tension can tighten muscles, sometimes seen in shoulders and back. Maybe, that's what her PT was saying.

So if you have a big butt you have a gluteous maximus?

That would be the actual term for the muscle, big or not.

@shaggygirl 👆 that's it.

Whether our butts are big or small, flat or bulgy, or meet any other description, the underlying butt muscle is called gluteous maximus.

Big butt doesn't equal big glute muscle.

Flat slack butts have weeny weak gluteous maximus muscle (I know, I used to have one) and some big butts are also weeny undeveloped gluteous maximus muscle plus alot of fat.

Like any other muscle, you can increase the size of your glutes.

You may have a body type that is just naturally well muscled to start...or not.

And both diet and DNA have a hand in a body's amount and location of fat storage.

So @shaggygirl , tying this back to this thread, you can increase muscle tone & size while reducing the overall size/measurement of your butt.

I am really surprised how many ladies are not aware of the glute muscles. Ladies I known over the years always seem to be concerned about what they look like when walking away.

Contraction glute muscles exercises are abundant, some can be done at any time and any place. Plus, the exerciser will be the only one knowing them. Think Kegel Exercises, and feel your glutes while performing them.

There are tons of contraction exercises, and quite a few stretching exercises to help keep one's glutes tight, while also keeping them flexible.

Back pain can be related or exasperated by a tightness(lack of flexibility) in any 1 of the many rear side muscle groups. Starting from the shoulders and every rear side muscle group, which can include the Achilles Tendon. They all need strength and flexibility.

These exercises apply to both genders. ( | )

@Calcgirl am I missing something? Did you mean "too bad those tight glutes didn't appear on the exterior of my..."? Instead of did appear?

I agree with this 100%.

How about a gluteous minimus?

Lsadies, ladies, I was trying to be funny, but obviously I failed. I know what glutes are and the difference between glutes and the other portion ( fat) of the buttocks. I was implying as a couple of ladies caught on here that I wish my outer area was as firm as those muscles buried behind the flesh of the buutocks. I then putting a laighing emoji.
