As the buttock muscles are a large, strong and pleasingly hefty muscle group, the most obvious sign of glute weakness is to have a lack of tissue where your bottom should be! It is also common to have a one sided weakness, in which case one buttock cheek will be noticeably smaller.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Having a sedentary job and disliking exercise, will almost certainly lead to a gluteus weakness. Your bottom muscles obviously don’t contract when you sit on them, and the constant compression of the nerves and blood vessels doesn’t do the muscle any favours.<\/p>\n
