Why Your Squats Build Everything Except Your Glutes (And How to Fix It)

Training hard but seeing no difference in your glutes? The problem isn't your effort. It's that most workouts train every muscle except your glutes without you realizing.

On a flat floor, your body tips forward to stay balanced, shifting your weight onto your toes. The result? Your quads and knees take over, and your glutes barely fire. Even trying to engage them is difficult, because the hours of sitting most of us do each day weaken the mind-body connection between our brain and glutes. This means that while you might be squatting to build your glutes, you’re actually building your quads.

When Your Glutes Don't Activate,
They Can't Grow or Strengthen

Your glutes can only grow if they're switched on. If they aren’t engaged during your squats, they won’t get stronger or more sculpted, no matter how many reps you do. That's why you can train for months, feel your legs ache after each session, and still see little to no change in your glutes.

The COBA Board’s 7° Incline Shifts
The Weight Into Your Glutes

The COBA Board's patented 7° incline uses the Counterbalance Method to tip your weight back onto your heels, right into your glutes and hamstrings. Just step on and your glutes will fire for every single squat. You don’t even have to think about switching them on - they’re already engaged!

Dr. Scott Lynn

Professor of Kinesiology and Biomechanics

“I conducted an independent study and found that doing a counterbalance squat on the COBA Board was a much more effective way to activate the glute muscles than regular squats.”

It's Clinically Proven To Activate Glutes More Than Regular Squats

Dr. Scott Lynn, a professor of kinesiology at California State University, Fullerton, tested the COBA Board and found its patented 7° incline activated the glutes significantly more than regular squats, lunges, and deadlifts on a flat floor.

Why Your Squats Build Everything
Except Your Glutes (And How to Fix It)

Training hard but seeing no difference in your glutes? The problem isn't your effort. Most leg workouts train your quads and other muslces more than your glutes without you even realizing it.

And even trying to engage them is hard. The hours of sitting most of us do weaken the mind-body connection between your brain and your glutes.
So while you think you're squatting to build your glutes...
You're actually building your quads.

When Your Glutes Don't Activate, They Can't Get Sculpted or Strengthen
