How to isolate glutes?

Question

What one exercise or gym machine really isolates the glute muscles?
Please don’t say squats, I find those to use more leg than butt even when I check my form. 
I’ve tried the hip thruster machine, and seemingly all the leg/glute machines at the gym. I have a hard time ever feeling sore in my butt no matter what I do. 
Ideas?

Answer

Hip thrusts, donkey kicks, lunges, squats, cable donkey kicks, goblet squats, leg press with feet placed at the top of the foot press, SO MANY. If you’re not feeling it, you’re either not using correct form or you’re not using enough weight.

Answer

I think they are called donkey kicks... get on all 4s, lift leg up with foot to sky and knee bent and pulse - alternate between legs. I do Brazilian butt workouts and like them but this move always makes me feel it

Answer

I'm definitely quad dominant, I can totally relate to this lol I started using booty bands, and the fabric material not the originals . && I looked up excercises for the bands to target different muscles ❤️

Answer

I used to lay on side with exercise bands and focus on glutes and warm up for thirty minutes.

Answer

Deadlifts

Answer

Do hip thrusts with free weights, get someone to show you how to do them properly so you are using your glutes. You can also do frog pumps as a warm up which are similar to bridges. When you are doing anything like squats or deadlifts squeeze your butt as you finish the movement to make sure your glutes are engaged.

Answer

Try doing warm ups in between sets, check your form for everything. Hip thrusts are literally to help your butt grow so you aren’t doing them right, squats are a compound movement so they’ll target all muscles in the legs. Try sumo deadlifts, cable pull throughs, donkey kicks, but also mind to muscle connection is real
