I want to be able to train the glute max in isolation. I can only think of three machines that can allow this to happen: the belt hip thrust machine, the reverse hyperextension machine, and the hip extension machine. The issue with the hip thrust machine is that it also works out your spinal erectors a bit and possibly some of your hamstrings, the reverse hyperextension machine will work out a lot of your hamstrings and some of your spinal erectors, and most hip extension machines are essentially just weighted donkey kicks, so they're going to be hitting your quads more than your glutes, and they're going to feel really awkward.

The hip extension machine in this video appears to be best machine for isolation the glute max, and it also looks super comfortable. Correct me if I'm wrong. You lay down and are strapped down with a seatbelt. I would love to own one of these. I have a small home gym that I often work out in, but I also go out to use other equipment and machines at some of my local gyms. I have enough room in my home gym to fit one or two machines, and after months of contemplation, I believe this would be one of them. I just want to know where I can find these. (The one in OP image clearly sucks, as if you're pretty strong, you're going to be launching yourself up when trying to do the lift, which is one a laying down version where you can strap yourself down, like the one in the video, is superior.)

If you want bigger glutes and skinny legs get a bbl, because there's no such thing as glute isolation as the hamstrings/spinal erectors will always be in use too. Otherwise, simply make sure your squat and hinge variations emphasize the glutes as much as possible.

Hip thrusts result in quite a bit of spinal erector stimulation. The problem with hip thrusts is that it doesn't take very long before you get so strong that you NEED to get a belt hip thrust machine. Reverse hyperextension works your spinal erectors a bit less compared to back extension, but it works your hamstrings out quite a bit. That hip extension machine, as shown in that video, seems to be the best possible machine for isolating the glutes, specifically the glute max. Your legs are bent, so you're not working out your hamstrings to any significant degree, and similarly to a leg press, you're not really going to be working out your spinal erectors just by moving your legs forward like that while laying down. I would personally love to own a machine like that.

>and skinny legs
I want thick thighs, anon. I just feel like I don't train my glute max, in particular, hard enough. Training side glutes is easy with hip abduction.

Well, you're retarded then. That's like wanting to isolate your chest without training any of your front delts. If the muscles are literally connected and serve the same function in the actions of the body you have no way to isolate them. Essentially, you've failed to understand that muscle categorization is simply a human method of simplifying the anatomy of the human body, but does not reflect 1 to 1 how the human body works. Try and isolate you brachialis from your biceps, perhaps you'll have more luck there.

You can mostly do this with flies. They don't work your front delts much compared to benching. A ton of glute exercises still work the quads more than the glutes.

Yes, but the point is it still works them. Why the hell do you want to have strong glutes, but God-forbid the spinal erectors are trained as well?

The spinal erectors can't handle as much volume. They get pumped up like crazy. You already do several exercises that work out the spinal erectors pretty well. You have an injury or axial fatigue that you want to work around, but you still want to work your glutes. So on and so forth.

do kickbacks then; but wait, you don't want to do that because it trains your hams, which is exactly my point; you're trying to separate muscles inherently designed to work together in the anatomy of the body out of a weird obsession you've acquired for the "gluteus maximus"

The specific reason I started this thread is because I strained my abdominals, so I can't do any compound movements for my legs, but I still want to work out my glutes. I still think it would be awesome to have a machine for isolating my glute max at home that no other gym has, like the one in that video in OP. It would be a funny conversation piece whenever I'd have people over, though.

Don't these work out your quads more than your glutes?

Well, I do have OCD.

Motherfucker how would they train your quads if it's a partially curling movement. Do you do leg curls for quads?

Would've been a lot better if you stated this at the beginning of the thread

Trying to isolate your glutes is like trying to isolate your chest without using your shoulders or triceps.

Stop being autistic and train your glutes like everyone else. If you want big cakes with thinner legs just focus on the 3 exercises you said and skip squats

Adding on to this, the exercise you linked is essentially just a seated version of cable kickbacks; That exercise would also train your hamstrings

Cable flies do a good job of this. They work out your biceps just a bit, though.

My quads are 27 inches when they're NOT pumped. I haven't measured them after a proper full-thigh pump. I just feel like I could train my glute max more intensely.
>>76282204
>That exercise would also train your hamstrings
Maybe just a tiny bit, but I can tell just from looking at the movement that it would mostly be glutes. You would also barely be working the erectors, similarly to a leg press.

To me, it just looks like a modified, single-leg version of leg press that likely has a bit more tension on the glute max. That machine looks so fucking stupid.

Your money would be better spent purchasing funko pops and a butt plug then getting that big ass machine for 0.1% better activation of the glutes (which would again not even make you look good because the human body is designed for the posterior chain to work in conjuction, why do you think the anime girls you posted also have big ass hamstrings)

Nigger, I do leg curls all the time. The only issue is I really only have room for one, maybe two machines in my home gym, but even with just one machine, it's likely already going to start feeling crowded. I would also only buy that one specific machine, but I can't find it being sold anywhere, and I don't know what the original manufacturer is from that video.

I was thinking of the kickback machine. That thing is like a leg press. If you do cable kickbacks, that's a different story. Most, if not all, ankle cuffs won't work if you actually have strong glutes.

So then replace leg curls with something that also targets your glutes, like cable kickback. I don't understand what's your fucking issue. Go gamble if you just want to spend your money on something useless.

Are there any ankle cuffs that would work for a stronger guy? What if I do stiff-legged (knees locked out) deadlifts instead?

Well now I'm confused because you said you can't do compounds. If you can do stiff legged deadlifts then just do your hip thrusts. There was this video by house of hypertrophy that showed it hypertrophies your glutes much more than your quads. Can't be fucked to find it. Or sure Sitff Legged DLs or FGood Morning. Either way if you can do compounds you should do compounds for glutes. That's just how that muscle is designed by big G. Only exception being hip abductions.

At the moment due to straining my abs somehow.
>If you can do stiff legged deadlifts then just do your hip thrusts.
I'm already pretty damn strong, so with the weight I would be lifting, there would be WAY too much impingement on my pubic bones. This is why it would be so nice to have a belt hip thrust machine.
>Only exception being hip abductions.
This is pretty much isolation for side glutes.

Sure, if you really wanted to purchase a piece of equipment that would be by far the most sensible choice based on what you've said. Or just go outside, touch some grass, and go to a public gym.
