Title: Barbell hip thrusters
Post by: MP on October 23, 2020, 09:33:46 AM
My gym is plagued with both guys and girls doing this dumb exercise. They look like they're having sex with the bar.

Dumbest exercise ever. Can't imagine devoting time to this exercise.

Some total imbecile in my gym loaded the bar with 495 and was trying to do this... I busted out laughing.  He was a crossfidiot and had hardly no muscle at all.  He must have massive bruises all over his legs and hips.

Why the fuck would any heterosexual man do this exercise in the gym?

Must be an amateur thruster. Needs to use a pad.

Some big, doofy European dude at my gym does them with the bar loaded up. Never bothered to try to calculate the weight.

Nothing wrong with the movement.

It just gets bastardized by people because they can use a lot of weight right from the get go, and they fuck it up.

It's popular because nowadays it's all about ASS.
It does work the glutes but may be inferior to other exercises like different squat variations and this move may be less taxing.

My gym has no less than 3 different setups/machines for this exercise.

Thank Bret the CONMAN Contreras for this stupid fad!! Fucking girl thinks he is the "glute specialist" because he take sit up the ass weekly!! Deep squats and Sumo deadlifts (heavy) will build 100X more muscle in your glutes this his phaggoty little thrust!!!

They target the ass too.

But, they can also be utilized to learn how to engage the muscle.  There are instances where people compensate in hip hinge movements, squats etc with other muscles than the ass.

Seems like a ridiculous movement. Many other ways to work your glutes without having to having a steel bar digging into your pelvis.

But I'm sure there are certain specific sports that benefits from them

These personal trainers have to come up with these stupid exercises to beat the competition because they are more "educated" with all of these strange exercises.  Who created that stupid stability ball these idiots use?  I'm surprised no one has been killed on one of them yet.

Need the pad built for it.

However, seeing videos of that dude in this thread certainly does make it look fucking stupid.

Does any activity lend itself better to humor than BBing?


That said,


Taking a somewhat more serious look at the movement. Bending the knees causes the rectus femoris to stretch, which limits hip extension which also stretches the RF. So you’re not gonna get as good of a range of motion from this exercise as you would from doing a hip extension movement in a standing position where the rectus femoris would be contracted at the knees and allowing for a greater extension of the hips

In my estimation, sprinting or simply squeezing at the top of back squats would be better and certainly less clunky.

Exercise is effective and a safe way to learn to contract/fire the ass muscles.

It's not uncommon for lifters to compensate for a lack of this  with other muscles in lifts like the squat etc.

This can reteach.

It's not the be all, end all, just another tool in the box.

I see people actually using the hamstring curl machine to try to do these.  Wedging themselves in backwards so the heel pad is on their upper thighs and hunching away.

I've seen a few at my gym use the leg extension machine the same way.

Yup I've done this to warm up for squats.

It's a fad which will fade when people realize they are wrecking their backs for the sake of building bigger glutes. It's part of the current obsession people, including bodybuilders have with ginormous striated butts.

I've done hip thrusts at home with no added weight. That's good enough for me. But then, I have a relatively flat ass....so what!

You betcha. ;D 

Learned to do them from my physical therapist when I was having issues with my lower back, (degenerative disk disease). It's one of the core exercises designed to strengthen the muscles that help support the spine.

Hip Thrusts involve squeezing your glutes and lifting hips up toward the ceiling. They engage the glutes, hamstrings, core, lower back, abdominals, obliques, and hip flexors.

Never, have I done them at the gym or with added weight. Not planning on it either.

Post by: ProudVirgin69 on October 26, 2020, 03:18:35 AM
it's like a rotator cuff exercise - use as a warm-up to stay healthy and strong.  Not a muscle builder, stick to traditional exercises for that.

Doesn't need much weight though, maybe 25-45lbs.  Idiots like to load the weight up bc it looks impressive or something, but there's pretty much zero lever arm at the hip so the load on the muscle is small
