You Should Be Doing Glute Bridges for ACL Recovery

Trey Davis

If you're recovering from ACL surgery, you should be doing glute work — specifically glute bridges and hip thrusts. This has become one of the main things I've been focusing on, based on what I've read and experienced firsthand about how glute strength supports knee stability during recovery.  Strengthening the glutes builds up the posterior chain in a way that can take pressure off the knee joint compared to more knee-dominant exercises. It's been a real shift in how I approach leg training since starting ACL rehab — prioritizing glute activation and strength as a foundation rather than an afterthought. If you're in a similar recovery process, this might be worth adding into your own routine.  Glute work doesn't always get the credit it deserves in a recovery plan. Has anyone else found glute training helpful during their own ACL recovery?  👉 Subscribe for more: Subscribe for science-backed recovery tips, workout progress, and nutrition guides that deliver real results! - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUDL-gMqNuLmkakGAX2Rldw  📧 Email: treydavis54@gmail.com  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION  🔥 TubeBuddy Best YouTube App 🔥 https://www.tubebuddy.com/treyshabba  🔥 VidIQ Best YouTube App 🔥 https://vidiq.com/treydavis  💳 Discover Credit Card 💳 https://refer.discover.com/s/TREY41  💳 American Express Credit Card 💳 http://refer.amex.us/TREYD82LG?XLINK=MYCP  ✔ Help Us Reach 1000 Subscribers: https://bit.ly/SubscribeTreyDavis  ✅Stay Connected✅ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitwithtrey/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/trey.s.davis Twitter: https://twitter.com/OnE1TimeR Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fitwithtrey  #GluteBridges #ACLRecovery #KneeRehab #GymMotivation #FitnessVlog #GymVlog #StrengthTraining #RehabExercises #GluteWorkout #ACLSurgery
