Finally figured out the key to working my glute medius (side of glute, so there’s no weird flatness/indent) is to do isometric exercises. Need to hold the weight in contracted position to hit those. Applies to Hip Abduction Machine and Cable Abduction. Wasn’t getting much contraction before and now I’m blowing them up.

isos are a bitch. one thing that's goodbad about barre. not that we do them like you are doing,but my instructor likes fatiguing a muscle then iso-ing it in a position.

They can be a problem if you’re doing bodyweight or light weight exercises because where do you go up? You hold for 5 seconds, then you master that, so you hold for 10 seconds, then 20, etc and it ends up being tedious with diminishing returns. Gotta keep upping the weight and keep a consistent, pragmatic timer.

maybe that's why she fatigues it first? or is that how you do it with weights?
