Are your TFL muscles overworking and your glutes underperforming during exercises? You're not alone! Overactive muscles like the Tensor Fascia Latae (TFL) can hijack movements, leaving key muscles like the Gluteus Medius under-engaged. In this video, Coach E shares 3 expert tips from a live Q&A session to help you "shut off" overactive muscles and activate the ones that matter.

In today's video you'll learn how to:

1. Perform a TFL-specific release technique to reduce muscle tension.
2. Use targeted pressure during exercises to prevent TFL from taking over.
3. Adjust your exercise set and rep structure to build proper glute activation patterns.

These tips are perfect not just for your hips but for other areas where muscle imbalances occur—like the upper traps, VMO, and rectus femoris.
