Hip thrusts dont transfer much to squatting but can help hip hinge movements quite a bit. They helped me break a 600 lb deadlift many years ago. If you have a well designed hip thrust machine that lets you really sink deep and stretch the glutes you will get more out of them than the barbell version.
Why not do good mornings and do a movement that a life’s hip hinge that has direct carryover to the squat AND deadlift? Just a thought. Plus, honestly, a good morning actually replicates the act of “humping” even better than a hip thrust does lol
@@BUFFALO_cougar_slayer hip thrust is at the heaviest when you fully contract the glutes, good morning is not. similarly, any movement that loads the back fatigues more, so you'd have to start managing that too. hip thrusts are a cheap option.
@@BUFFALO_cougar_slayer because when you get strong enough, GMs will fry out your low back and recovery before glutes have hit close to max recoverable volume
I've spent many years with Bulgarian spit squats as my go-to leg exercise. Whilst it's not transferred to my back squat as much as I'd like it to have, I've found that they've given me very functional leg strength and mobility. They also light up the quads and glutes something fierce! My legs got considerably thicker from them. Glute thrusts never seemed to give me much of a stretch at the bottom of the position, and the power it does develop didn't really cross over into many other lifts as the supported position you set up in, isn't one you find yourself in very often. Appreciate your insight brother, always love the approach and the earnestness you display every day, reminds me to be honest with myself and to get after it!
I do hipthrust as my warm up, 1 set of 6 reps si gle leg with iso holds, 1 set of 20 double leg. Main focus is the movement pattern of Hip extension. There's no reason to me to do hipthrusts for Hypertrophy, but for positional work it does help show my body posterior tilt with a brace (which was why it was originally created, to Hip escape from full guard in BJJ)
Ayyy it's Yoked Disney's Merida making an appearance again. Who is that woman? Is she a Strongwoman/Powerlifter? She can give you a run for your money on front double biceps. 💪
Best glute pump ive ever had was from deficit deads with a micro band tied to the rack and around the front of my hips. Might cause too much systemic fatigue for some but since i was using less than 100kg for sets of 20 it was perfect
Thus is one of the best vids you’ve done Ivan. I agree totally with you. I think hip thrusts are problematic for other reasons as well. THEN, Big Z does them on squats day, which is confusing. Could be an outlier though. Great work again.
Thanks man. Yeah I’ve seen big Z hip thrust a tonne of weight. When I see a guy like that using that exercise, I feel like there is some benefit to it for sure.
Yeah I cringed a bit. Couldn't even wait to finish the set and walking near a squat is among the worst on the list of gym offences. It's like walking in front of a Sensei while he is teaching the class. In this case the Sensei is Ivan and we are the class lol
I would think high-intensity hip thrusts probably carry over well to things like jumping and sprinting where glute power in the neutral-to-shortened range is important. Hence why you do see jumpers and sprinters train them. With the cyclist example split squats would of course have way more carryover for the added quad training, the lateral stability benefits, and the fact that cycling positions force you to engage your glutes in the stretched position.
Glutes have the best internal leverage for hip extension in the short position. Adductors have the best internal leverage for hip extension with a bent hip. It's not so much about training the glutes in the long position as it is about hip extension in the bent hip position for squats. Which is mostly adductors.
Yeh I’ve heard that before. It’s hard to conceptualise. But it seems to be the way to go. Which explains why my adductors always get sore with heavy squatting. Especially atg.
I personally like training my glutes and abs for squats, not because they add strength to it but because they allow me to actually use my quads for squats. They keep everything tight and aligned so the muscles that need to do the actual moving of the weight can produce the proper force instead of leaking strength all over the place
I'm sure this has been said but I'm lazy and don't want to go through the comments. Glutes are hip extensors, quads are mostly knee extensors. Both play their part in different segments of the squats. If you have strong glutes but no quads you aren't going to squat well, and vice versa.
@IvanDjuric300 I think that's too complicated for a YT comment. Intricacies of stance, posture, and depth. The more on your toes and the higher up, the more quads. The more on your heels and the deeper you get, the more glutes. I'd venture to guess 60:40 anterior/posterior as a starting point but that's guessing
Dude, 200 is going up like 180 used to. Incredible! Also, glutes and hammies - and I'm sure you know this - are more specific to low-bar squatting. Won't work as well for you, Ivan, although they're still important.
Squats involves quads, hip thrust dont. Its more like a glute-dominant hip extension. Havent done hip thrust myself but, my gut instinct tells me there's gotta be unique benefits to hip thrust that you can't get from other movements, even if hypertrophy benefits may be equal.
Like someone else said here, maybe the benefits lie with deadlifts. The carry over there seems good. But for squatting it seems like not the way to go. Maybe I’m wrong but that’s what it seems.
A big squat *FIRST* needs to be *un-racked.* A strong back (upper and lower) is needed to un-rack a heavily loaded bar. Those girls with the massive hip-thrusts do not have the strength back to un-rack the bar. The question is, at what stage in the squat movement do the glutes come into play? Similar situation with guys that leg press 800kg in the gym but struggle to squat 3 plates, which is the maximum they can un-rack.
Louie Simmons said all his wide low bar squat students had bigger hamstrings on average And he recommended hamstring, low back and glute work the most (reverse hypers, good mornings, etc) But since your squat style is closer to an olympic weightlifter, imo you would get more milage out of studying how they train quads in mass building periods iirc, olympic weightlifters have times of high volume variation training to build mass and then periods of leaning up and peaking for competitions If you look over some olympic weightlifting programs for volume/mass you might get some ideas for your current block. Just a thought :) Hopefully with time you will find the right balance of exercises and variety, but for now its great that the split squats, belt squats and hack squats are working!
I'll never do them unless there's an actual machine for it in the gym. Stuff legged deadlifts are a great substitute though. Have to be really careful with the weight on those
@@nightfighter7452 yes! I love the stiff leg deadlift, I get that awesome stretch feeling in the bottom, easy to set up, you don’t even get the bloody shins. 10/10z
I just do them one-legged, can use way less weight (just a heavy dumbbell even), and you get the lateral stability training benefits of a 1-legged movement.
Hey Ivan, somewhere in day 400s you were doing walking lunges and hyping them up a bunch, so I tried them out and loved them. I always tell people weighted walking lunges destroy the glutes like no other exercise. How do you think walking lunges compare to these weighted split squats? Think one is better than the other? Roughly the same? I have never tried barbell split squats, think I should?
Hey man. Yeah they are very similar no doubt. The only differences with split squats is the stability and balance aspect is easier. So I think because of that you can load them more. And I think with with load comes extra stimulus. That’s what I think. Also I think with walking lunges there is more emphasis on glutes because you finish the walking cycle each time. With split squats you stop short of full hip extension.
All comes down to your weaknesses. If your glutes aren’t weak compared to other muscles or movements, then hip thrusts are probably junk volume. After the main movement, it’s all about addressing individual weaknesses.
Glutes are mainly there for that bottom position to get you out of the whole when your glutes are feeling good the squat moves like butter but you need to train the glutes in the axial plane coming from someone who has done hip thrusts since 2010 I can tell you it helps with activating glutes and you can increase your squat but I don’t think it’s to a point that Bulgarians can do I always feel way more activated after Bulgarians
A guy eating a bowl full of pills and shooting needles in his eyeballs isn’t someone we should use as an example for this particular movement. I get the women example, which is fair enough. But a lot of women don’t have the core or lower/upper back strength to stay up right. Plus, their abductors could be weak relative to the glute max. There are too many variables to know exactly what is going on with that group
I’ve started squatting with a very upright torso. Been building up my squat for two months and I can really feel my glutes when I go past parallel on the way up. Before I would lean forward more and feel it more in my mid and low back. I guess HTs might help if you want to be more upright. I would rather do rdls though.
In terms of isolated, targeted training. It's obvious hip thrusts are good for the glutes.. just like quad extension is better for quads than squats are 🤷♂️ the fatigue to stimulus ratio is better for specific growth. However, if you want to squat, you have to squat. If a girl wants big glutes, they should 100% do hip thrusts. Plenty of female powerlifters, weightlifters, and crossfitters who squat lots have flat asses, even enhanced ones. But they often have very good quads.
The other day I saw a Jeff nipard reel talking about lengthened partials. It is consistent with what you're saying. I also don't think hip thrusts are the best exercise for glutes
I think hip thrusts are only useful for vanity. You can still get big glutes by accident just from squatting in addition to all the useful strength they give. What other people want to do is their business but when I see someone doing that exercise I know that their interests do no lie in being strong.
If all you want is big glutes, you don't need to accumulate fatigue by squatting. Those girls couldn’t have developed their physiques with squats alone, the amount of spine compression is too much
Yeah that’s for sure. The amount of glute work you can accumulate in hip thrust is way higher than with squats. Simply because squats target so much more. Fatiguing the system much quicker.
hahahahah, I see a lot of Joey Swoll vids condemning influencers being pissy about other gym goers walking in front of their camera BUT I've NEVER seen a dude just walk right through an exercise setup. 4:32 Bro, walk around.
Disagree with your stretch theory. I’ve never done bicep curls in my last 4 years training yet the other day curled 32.5kg single arm when my best was 27.5kg. Strength in my bicep developed from my heavy deadlifting and Rows. I’d never gained that much in all my 20’s with bodybuilding type training
That hip thrust is so funny, bro... Years ago, people will stop and look at you like you took a sh1t in the street - it was that novel and weird to watch people do hip thrusts. At some point in the 2020s, suddenly every girl and their grandma started doing hip thrusts. It's so commonplace now. Funny how that shizzit works.
As a dude, hip thrusts are a no-go, I'd rather just focus on squats, split squats and goodmornings for those areas, hip thrusts are overkill, and a woman's thing, a "vanity" lift that isnt necessary for guys. In my opinion, hip hinges and alot of core work is better time invested.
The absence of hamstring and lower back during hip thrusts make it a poor carry over I think. But I agree, last thing I want is an even bigger set of glutes as a guy.
The plates in my gym are at the back of the squat racks on a rack. While I'm squatting, quite often there's some chumps who walk in front of me to take a plate away and walk off, like a foot or 2 in front... I'm like wait for my fucking set to end!
This "consensus" on the stretch being the most important for hypertrophy... Is just not something i can fully agree with. It's based off what? A couple studies? These arent srudies from data compiled over years. Its studying one exercise for a few weeks and looking at muscle activation and growth. What about their diets, sleep, juice use? Studies are more or less pointless done this way. Ill base everything off history and success of the lifters before me. Some of the biggest guys were quarter repping with no stretch.

What do you do for the glutes then
I'm sure this has been said but I'm lazy and don't want to go through the comments.
Glutes are hip extensors, quads are mostly knee extensors. Both play their part in different segments of the squats. If you have strong glutes but no quads you aren't going to squat well, and vice versa.
But what is the split. The ratio of work, is it 50:50. Or if you just focus on quads instead of glutes, would you be better off.
@IvanDjuric300 I think that's too complicated for a YT comment. Intricacies of stance, posture, and depth. The more on your toes and the higher up, the more quads. The more on your heels and the deeper you get, the more glutes. I'd venture to guess 60:40 anterior/posterior as a starting point but that's guessing
If you are interested in taking the stretch even further in the split squat, try elevating the front foot. The stretch will be insane from that
Dude, 200 is going up like 180 used to. Incredible!
Also, glutes and hammies - and I'm sure you know this - are more specific to low-bar squatting. Won't work as well for you, Ivan, although they're still important.
Yeh all this quad work is making the bar feel light man. It feels like I have something to push with now.

Or just do them all. Who cares.
Front foot elevated, even better.
I gotta try it. I still haven’t.
The issue I see with hip thrust is the shallowness of the movement, squatting (even to parallel only) requires strength in much more acute angles.

To me BSS are for abductors (glute med/min) while hip thrusts are for glute max. Doing both in a session is probably best for overall development
