anyone else notice grills doing this exercise at the gym? seems

>>40674638
they've been doing it since forever

it's a good exercise and i'd do it too if i wasn't so self conscious about looking like a faggot

>>40674638
So you've been going to the gym for a year I see.

>>40674638
>how to spot a NYR fag: the post

>>40674669
I do them, because I go to the gym to become stronger. Anyone with time to judge, isn't working out hard enough.

It's a fairly common exercise and a good one. You should try it yourself. Maybe you'll finally hit that 2pl8 squat

>>40674638
They want dat booty and it's one of the best exercises for it.

It's something you should be doing too.

hot girls r so great

>>40674638
hip thrusts are the best glute exercise

>not knowing the one legged hip thrust

Shiggity mcdiggity

it's a great exercise if you ever plan to squat or dead lift heavy, i do it on my cardio days.

>>40675084
its the same exercise but with one leg up you retard

>>40674638
Should you be keeping your feet flat for this?

it puts a lot of shear of your back but it is objectively the best butt exercise

I am more amused of the shoes she is wearing

>>40675992
yes. should be pushing through heels for glute bridge and hip thrust

>>40676027
loser

>>40674638
Fun fact, you can lift more with a bbht than you can with a diddly

How long do I have to do these before I get a good ass

It's been about 3-4 weeks and I'm not seeing a big shift? I started because I saw that "booty workout for LONDON-ers" copypasta workout that people post sometimes.

>>40677516
No way!!! tell us more!!!!! :O

hehe xd

Are hip thrusts better than bridges? Hurt my back a little bit doing some so I switched to bridges

>>40677636
I think so? Bridges are an alright substitute if you need to take a break for a while and recover.

It's the same muscle group, but it's my understanding that hip thrusts tax those muscles more.

>>40677573

>>40675973
Oh boy. Some of y'all need to work out your brains a little more.

>>40674669
I just do them in the Smith machine. Less ackward than pulling out a barbell and taking up 8 feet of space plus a bench

>>40676027

See

>>40678036

>>40674638
Yes, I notice them doing that exercise because it's a great exercise. In fact I do it myself sometimes (usually when the gym is empty lol)

>>40676027
>dry humps
If the bar is still dry, you weren't thrusting hard enough. Think about it, the only way you could get any closer to literally fucking your lifts is if you start raw dogging a stack of bumper plates. If that doesn't turn you on then I don't know what will.

>>40674638
>taking up a bench for this
why

>>40679364
how else are you supposed to them retard

I fucking love glute bridges. I could not break parallel at all on my squats and felt badass doing 300lb quarter squats. I did glute bridges twice. Fucking twice. Next time I warmed up on my squat, suddenly I could ass to grass. I've reset my weight all the way down to 150lbs, but now I'm actually doing them.

>>40674638
anyone do these without a mat? i have to use a mat or my pelvis hurts

>>40679405
Plyo box

>>40677516
I'm pretty sure I can glute bridge more with 355 x 10 than I can deadlift. Can't imagine how much higher my hip thrusts are.

But I don't deadlift so fuck.

Does this also help you fuck better?
High weight low reps or high reps low weight for better sexy times with lady?

>>40679478
Except it was
> Never once able to break parallel, even when I was doing 65lbs, figure it's just long femurs since I'm 6"3 and go on doing quarter squats
> Do glute bridges twice, feel lower back and glutes like I never have
> Do my usual warm up weight for squats
> Get to point I usually get stuck at
> Not stuck, suddenly I can go all the way
You're right, they probably didn't do anything.

>>40679444
Probably has more to do with the fact you're using a weight you can actually squat. Also there's a big in between from quarter squats to ATG, did you at least go to parallel?

>>40674638
Activates glutes directly and more so than any other exercise, including squats and deads (which hit glutes as a secondary or tertiary muscle at best).

To properly grow the ass you've got to do body weight or low weight stuff like this for the most part and really contract the ass. Squeeze it like you wanna break a dick off in it.

>>40679700
How does this activate the glute any more than the lockout portion of a deadlift? I'm not saying it doesn't have its merit as an assistance exercise since you can't be deadlifting that frequently, but from a purely mechanical standpoint I don't see any additional contraction that's not present in a fully performed deadlift.

>>40679668
Nope, I tried everything too. It was a night and day difference immediately after doing glute bridges twice. I'd normally do a warm up set of 95lbs, and suddenly I could go all the way down, and it was immensely more difficult to go back up then my normal 300lb quarter squat, which is why I reset there.

>>40674723
>t.guy who just hit 2pl8 squat

>>40674638
Did it today off the ground without the bench; managed a 6 pl8 1RM and glutes actually felt sore. It might help with deadlift lockout or squatting (560lbs / 480lbs atm).

Although, I will most likely use it for hypertrophy and ability the ability to slam.

>>40679744
Because it's full ass. Try a glute bridge from wherever you are now and see how much you can feel it in your ass.

>>40679767
Well, not being able to squat ATG usually has to do with either ankle or hip flexibility as far as I'm aware. Obviously the hip thrusts do nothing for your ankles and I don't really see such a limited hip flexion would carry over to your squats if that were the problem, but what's important is that you're doing ATG now. Don't worry about dropping the weight, you can progress really quickly on the back squat and like you said, doing a full range of motion feels so much more athletic and enjoyable.

>>40679744
This is anecdotal but in a hip thrust your glutes are under the barbell, and the weight goes straight down into them. In a deadlift your glutes are behind the bar, and the weight is held by your traps and entire body. Also in a deadlift more muscle helps out in moving the weight towards lockout. Your hams and back are gonna try and help out no matter how much you want only the glutes to do the job.

>>40679806
You realize a 585 glute bridge is fucking huge don't you? Hell "The ass guy" Brett Cornelius or whatever the fuck his name is only hip thrusts for 500 and you can hip thrust more than you can glute bridge.

I'm ok with this.

is it better to do it on a bench or on the ground? what's the difference? where exactly should the bar stand?

last time i tried the bar hurts my skin and bone even through undies and pants.

I do this exercise in the hamstring curl machine and it works great.

>>40679975
On the ground is a glute bridge. You get less activation out of the arse and you lift less weight.

On a bench or anywhere where your upper body is elevated is a hip thrust. It is a lot harder to set up though.

The hip thrust is the best for building a big strong arse. The glute bridge is number 2. They are both way better than deadlifts or squats though.

You can't go wrong with either.

Most retarded exercise ever, i dont even know what they are trying to do with that.

If anything, these kind of movements will only fuck up your waist as they strengthen obliques like squats.

Good comeback

>>40680026
i also do single leg glute bridge, is that good? can you do single leg hip thrust.

>>40680156
Yeah. Though the one legged seems kind of pointless to me unless you don't have weights but that's just me.

As long as you're letting your ass do the work in those single legged, it's going to still hit your ass hard, or harder.

>>40679744
try it bro i dit it today with only 10kg dumbells and it hits my ass directly. i recomment you do this at home if you dont like looking like and idiot in the gym. but just do it in the gym if you can tho

>>40680239
i use an empty bar and i feel the work quite hard on the ass.

>>40680336
How do you do it with dumbbells so it's not tearing apart your waist?

>>40680336
I do 355 glute bridges at home for 10 reps. Even bodyweight though I can feel in my ass.

I like them because I have my power rack set in a way so it holds the weight until I use them. Not sure if I could do one legged as comfortable.

I'll try them at bodyweight though when I go to work. I won't have weights for like a week so that seems like a good thing to try out.

>>40679357
Someone post the plates that make a woman with a fleshlight in the middle. THAT is the closest you get to literally fucking your lifts.

>>40679529
Low weight high rep for muh endurance

>>40680466
look at youtube videos the show you how to do it. if your hips still hurts it means your hips are weak and glute bridges supposed to fix that to just takes time
