In a new video, he reacts to another influencer’s “glute maxxing” attempts. Kevin says the guy is doing well and puts this down partly to lots of exercises that many people skip, including leg raises. Kevin says many guys don’t do the exercise because it looks somewhat feminine and conjures memories of Richard Simmons. However, the exercise is great for your glutes!
Kevin then demonstrates what he means. He lies on his side and places a resistance band around his lower thighs. Resting on one elbow, he then raises one leg.
Watch below.

Now, the reason it’s gone viral is not simply that it’s a demonstration of a terrific thigh and glute exercise. Kevin is also wearing nothing but figure-hugging boxer briefs. He also appears to be packing in the front section.
Am I really this gay that this was one of the hottest videos I’ve ever watched

On Instagram and TikTok, the response was equally feral. It appears many people felt compelled to watch the video several times to … study Kevin’s form.
@yourfriendkevin This Small Move Makes a Big Difference
We, of course, are sharing the video for no other reason beside its educational merits. We all want to max those glute muscles, right?
Oh, and in a separate tweet, Kevin reacted to someone criticizing the use of the term “glute maxxing”. He threw shade at it, suggesting “the maxxing suffix”, as popularized in relation to ‘looks maxxing’, “is virtually meaningless outside of being a signal for other men to communicate that they have hobbies but not the gay kind.”

Should you want even more information from Kevin about boosting your booty, he helpfully posted a video on YouTube a few months ago with further exercises.
