A trainer corrects a common glute-drive mistake: holding the contraction at the bottom where there's no load, which wastes time. Keep tension at the top where the glutes are fully flexed and the machine resists.
Do you hit the bottom of the machine?
No, no, you keep tension.
Okay, but are you really releasing the tension or you're holding it? So instead of holding at the bottom, hold it at the top.
Okay, why?
Because there's tension at the top, there's no tension at the bottom. We want to hold it where there's tension, we don't want to hold it where there's no tension. You're just giving yourself a 2-second rest in between every rep.
Yeah, but our machine, it's your legs are here, so when you're going at the bottom, your butt doesn't touch the floor.
Yeah, but still, we don't need to— there's no load at the bottom, right? There's load at the top, so you want to hold it where it's flexed. You don't want to hold it where it's relaxed. Push, push up, up. There.

Come on, where you feel it? Your bum?
Yeah.
Good, well done.
Thank you.
