The Gmax also has a role in stabilizing the SIJs and has been described as one of the force closure muscles. Some of the Gmax fibers attach to the sacrotuberous ligament and the thoracolumbar fascia, which is a very strong, non-contractile connective tissue that is tensioned by the activation of muscles connecting to it. One of the connections to t

We have already looked at how the relative shortness of the iliopsoas, rectus femoris, and adductors can be responsible for the apparent weakness inhibition or misfiring of the glutes. These three muscles are antagonistic to the Gmax and Gmed, and because of their anatomical position, any shortness in these muscles can result in a compensatory neur

From heel-strike to mid-stance of the gait cycle, the Gmax increases its activation and the hamstrings decrease theirs. The Gmax significantly increases the stabilization of the SIJs during early and mid-stance phases through the attachments of the posterior oblique sling. Weakness or misfiring in the Gmax will cause the hamstrings to remain active

As for the lower body, you can gain power through your glutes by doing high reps of squats while holding a bar or dumbbells. I don’t normally focus much weight work on the lower body, but I do include some eccentric quad

The main muscles that can cause a neurological inhibition to the Gmax are the iliopsoas, rectus femoris, and adductors, as they all are classified as hip flexors, which are the antagonistic muscles to the hip extension action of the Gmax.

Squeeze a pair of cushy shoes—the kind I do not recommend for lifting—between your knees.
