They may be weaker than optimally wanted in some cases, but, and it’s a big but, glutes don’t work ONLY in the case of spinal cord injury, neurological deficit and extreme invalidity occasionally.

In short, if you can get up from a chair without help, then your glutes work, let alone run, swim or cycle!🤯
Some training may help optimise them of course, but please don’t think your glutes don’t work!🤦🏻♂️

And whilst I’m ranting - stop trying to predict muscle activation or firing sequences with your bloody fingers!

Without EMG then it’s simply impossible by placing fingers on anatomical areas and trying to literally guess which fire first (which isn’t even that important in the majority of cases that therapists tend to think are!).
