 Topic: GlutesPosted: 26 July 2024 at 7:12am |

After a long layoff, I’m back out on Grunhilda,( recumbent) just over 280km in 7 days, but I’ve not been well, and still recovering, and I should be resting really. My ‘bent legs didn’t really disappear glad to say, but I have noticed in the short time I’ve been back on it, is that I seem to be overloading my quads, and seemingly not using my glutes at all. Don’t know why this is. Do I push the boom out, pull it in, push a bigger gear, smaller gear? I’ve read that I have to concentrate on pushing my knee forward, whilst forgetting about my foot? Any tips to fire up those glutes?

If your position was correct before lay off, then surely it should be correct now. I found that the thigh had to be as close in line with the pelvis/back for max use. Middle to outer range. That’s why I found the windcheetah seat so good. I always thought of recumbent riding as a series of one leg, leg presses.
