In another discussion @Geoff Neupert gave the following advice regarding dead bugs:
Would this idea also work with an overactive QL?
My QL on the right side has a hair trigger and always wants to jump in first any time the glute has work to do. It's just on the one side. I've been to physical therapy a number of time and, while it's much better than it used to be, I continue to struggle with it.
What if I did like glute bridges or some exercise that favors the glute over the QL using the guidelines above? Could that be the fix I'm looking for?
100-150 reps total of 20-30 reps per set seems to be the "sweet spot" for most with Dead Bugs, based on extensive testing over the last 10+ years. I like pushing to 5 x30 with myself and private clients.
Why?
Re-grooving/rebuilding old, disused neural pathways and tissue remodeling to support those pathways.
