Hip thrusts stimulate glutes better than squats do

[Nelson Vergel]

"In cases where back squats cannot safely be performed, perhaps due to injury, pain, mobility deficits, or hip dysfunction, the greater stability of the barbell hip thrust would seem to make it an excellent alternative for developing the lower body musculature. Additionally, evidence suggests that individuals seeking to maximize their gluteus maximus development should incorporate barbell hip thrusts into their regimen."

I tried these a time or 2 and the bar digging into my hip was not worth it!! Im sticking to heavy squats...

For me simple hip bridge works better with lunges and squats.

Anyone interested in doing these should try them out on the smith machine. It's a lot easier to keep the weight stable and to focus on the contraction.
