If you can get them working in all those low-level exercises, then progress to functional ones i.e. in standing, then with movement - otherwise stronger glutes are pointless if you can't engage them reliably when you're running.
atm I can tell that they arent firing on the low level ones - once they are I will start will be going for jacobs 2 steps at a time, squats and lunges. unless you can point me at something in between low level and the above
Indeed, there is some middle ground. I'll put a sheet together for you - PM your email please?
or he could have a Facebook notification come to his inbox with my email address in it?!
Yeah but that takes effort on your behalf.
