What is the antagonist of the gluts?

The antagonist of the glutes, or gluteus maximus, is the hip flexors. These muscles are responsible for flexing the hip joint, while the glutes are responsible for extending the hip joint.

What is the agonist and antagonist muscles in a lunge?

Agonist(s) - Gluteus Maximus/Quadriceps FemorisSynergist(s) - Biceps Femoris (Hamstrings)Stabilizer(s) - Transversus AbdominisAntagonist(s) - Hip Flexors (Mainly the Iliopsoas)Movement(s) - Hip Extension/Knee ExtensionPlanes - Sagittal PlaneYour agonist(s) (when done properly i.e. sitting back/knees out) for a squat will be your glutes and quadriceps. Your synergist(s) will actually be your hamstrings as the biceps femorislong head assists greatly in hip extension. Your antagonist(opposing muscle) during a squat will be your Hip flexors i.e. Hip flexion.


How can I improve hip extension for better performance in my workouts?
