Which program should I choose? I want to build my glutes and I would say I am advanced in working out in terms of knowledge with form/technique etc but I do suffer from chronic back pain and have 2 bulging discs. Im starting to get back into lifting and hitting weights even though it’s much lighter weights now 😭😭 Would you still recommend any of these 2 programs??
Shoe review? I like to do leg days in thin socks because I like going barefoot for everything but my new gym doesn't allow socks so I'm looking for a good pair of gym shoes. I've been told Nike metcon 4. Is that a good shoe and are there as good/better options from Adidas or other brands?
Ha. I’ve started doing these on a hip thrust machine, and it’s the only equipment I use where I feel like I have to work in with the women. It feels a little emasculating, but there are definitely perks to it 😜
@jaquevius It's a bizarre analogy to suggest that you're stripped of your male identity simply by using a machine that many women use.

This exercise had a HUGE impact on my glute size and strenght. Definetely a must.
Thank you for putting emphasis on the width and angle of your legs and feet because hip thrusts were killing my back and hamstrings. I positioned my legs a little farther apart than shoulder width and i instantly felt it in my glutes--activating them has been the hardest part this far.
This is the most helpful video I’ve ever seen. Realized recently I had been doing hip thrusts not as accurate as I thought I was… I was doing them ok, but not fully optimizing. I’ve noticed less lower back pain and more growth in just a week or two, since optimizing full hip extension at the top. This video was so helpful. I find doing it on the smith machine is so very helpful. Finding your perfect set up is so important. Edit: To clarify, I was not fully optimizing because I wasn’t going all the way up for full hip lock out. I’ve noticed since I have been going all the way up - WOW!! What a difference!
@@Kaia_Mendelsohn I wasn’t fully locking out my hips at the top (only going up halfway instead of going up all the way). I’d say it’s a lot easier to practice more on form when using a smith machine, IMO. When you’re at the bottom, about to start: first brace your core correctly, start pulling up through your heels - you want to lift the weight with your butt muscles only (squeeze up with butt). Go up as high as you can (with your butt, not using lower back). A lot of girls ego lift, heavy weight, but only go up half way, that’s not optimizing. Full hip lockout is when your hip is lined up fully with your stomach (at top of movement). Hope this makes sense? Then at top of movement hold the butt squeeze for a second or two and back down. Practice with low weight and make sure you’re bracing core correctly or you’ll hurt your lower back.
I did your glute hypertrophy program when i first started working out and the results I saw were amazing!! My glutes definitely got bigger but so did my lower body strength , my hamstrings and quads also bigger and you could definitely see the difference in my lower body before and after the program!!! Im doing the intermediate progam that Jeff and Steph created together and its only been like 3 weeks but the results for that program are also very immediate, my strength has really increased and i’ve been hitting PRs constantly!!
I've been hesitant to try these out as well since I'm a guy and it's not too popular of a men's exercise. But don't worry about it. Remember, most people don't give a shit about who you are or what you look like - they're there to grind and nothing else. Keep chasing the pump 💪🔥
Perfect Video! I was able to lift 140 kg on Hipthrusts with a bad posture. Now I'm watching more my technique while using less weight and I see better results than before. Thank you!
I find it literally the most difficult exercise, I don't know why I seem to be super weak in this type of movement. Today I lifted my maximum (at the smith machine, I'm not able to do it in the rack because I slip forward with my feet and the machine doesn't have lateral supports near my hips so I don't know how to set up without making the weight fall on my legs) which was 40 kg and I believe with not full hip extension. It seems to me that this exercise doesn't target glutes efficiently because it fatigues your quads and your whole core to make this type of movement, it also seems like I can't express full force on my glutes because with the hip extension I have to move my entire core up and my glutes is like a secondary muscle. I don't know how to explain it but I find it super hard and it baffles me how even the people I see who are new in the gym lift more than me, while technically I shouldn't be a beginner anymore, since it's almost a year that I go to the gym
These techniques videos are great. Even when you know the movement well it's good to be reminded of the importance of every step . The squeeze the motion you should be imagining etc
@@joaofodaco9479 first and most obvious one is bigger and stronger glutes. Other benefits can include better deadlift (easier lockout), better squats, better posture, better overall aesthetics and a very low injury risk compared to other compound movements.
@@esenge3028 Yes it would, as often times APT is caused by a weakness in the glutes paired with a tightness of the hamstrings and hip flexors. If I could only suggest one exercise to help combat APT I would suggest bulgarian split squats. I make this suggestion because bulgarian split squats hit the glute medius better. Many people neglect their glute medius, which is part of why so many have APT to some degree.
Jeff... The quality of this video was top notch. Keep up the good work. I could clearly see the time and effort you put in and appreciate it. Thanks for always being informative and a reliable source. That goes for both of you guys ❤️
Thanks so much Jeff! I love how in-depth you get and talk about things nobody else would. I’ve been racking my brain for months trying to figure out why I’m feeling it sort of, but not as much as I should. I haven’t been lifting my hips up above my knees because somebody else told me that would make you feel it all in your lower back, This must be why I’m not feeling it completely in my glutes, thanks for the help
He said exactly that at the beginning of the video. Also just flatten your legs and roll it into position. Unless your quads are huge you should be able to do that
hey Jeff, I love when Stephanie makes the videos! I'm more androgynous in style and prefer to train for strength and muscle (as opposed to the typical "girl program"), for example I love your fundamentals program, BUT I do endlessly appreciate the representation and inclusion in your videos - every body is built differently and having all of the information and references to work off of is vital for folks like me to stay safe in the gym. Thank you ✨
Very well done, informative video! This is one of the best exercises I've found to help with my low back pain. Especially the one-legged with bands. Strangely, the glute-bridge exercise aggravates my low back. The two seem like such similar movements, but have such different effects.
1. look slight down not up 3:20 get a posterior pelvic tilt by abs pressuring 3. slower lowering. 1) Lock out hips. above your knees. 2) do not extend low back (keep the chin down)
I really had problems to figure out how to squeeze properly so I didn't did hip thrusts anymore lately bc I didn't want to have false posture.. but this video and explanation was so helpful thank you so much!
this format is brilliant, its like what we all wish every infomercial was actually like: informative, entertaining, useful, engaging, fun, practical, etc etc. Thanks for the vid, keep it up.
I just want to say a huge thank you jeff! For years i could never get comfortable squatting (i always blamed it being 6'5) But after your video i've not only felt comfortable but have been excelling in it finally 🙏 no other person or video helped like yours did ✊ Sláinte.
@Drew Dreiling watch his last technique Tuesday regarding the squat , for some reason all of his cues worked perfectly for me. I've had the same stresses and strains that you had and that video helped me so much! Hopefully they work as well for you 🙏
Omg! This girl is so pretty I thought she was an animated character lol didn’t know she was real! Even though he said his gf. Great video! perfect demonstration and info
Wow, I have literally never seen the technique broken down so precisely and so detailed but I do these things naturally. I sometimes wonder 'Should I do it like this' but going by feel and making sure you are lifting with your muscles and keeping your body tight while doing the reps guides you to the proper form. The only thing I have seen is to always rotate the whole body and not the hips only.
His Canadian accept comes out with the word "bar" hahah. Thanks for posting! I love the detailed explanation on form and which muscles are used. Huge fan of Stephanie!!
Dont use too much surface of your upper back , or else you will force your ripcage to stay flat on the bench , which will result in a hyper lordosis and that is not how i would recommend the hip thrust. I let my clients keep their upper body as neutral as it gets , and then let the torso follow the Bar on the way down , keeping a neutral spine all the way. This way you dont cheat using concentric contraction of your abs to get the weight back up and it also decreases stress on the Spine. Your girlfriend actually does it wrong at 4:19 without weight on the bar, and then does it right with weight on the bar at 4:44. Kinda confusing lol. After a good hip thrust session ( giggity) there could be a straight horizontal red line of irritated skin just below the shoulder blades when done on a not so soft bench. That should be the only spot that touches the bench and it should act like a fulcrum. Thats also why it is important to keep your shoulders depressed during the movement, as it decreases the posibillity of sliding down the bench . Except for the precise placement of the upper back , this video was quite good. Cheers!
A guy who lifts heavy for this exercise said put it (the bench on ur back) on the Grove u would a low squat bar. Ie below deltoids and muscle on lower half of scap.
This really helped me fix my form on this one I could never quite figure it out on my own. I had the basic of it down but the tip about squeezing your glutes together and thrusting the hips forward at the top helped alot I can feel the whole movement alot better now!!! 🏋️♀️🏋️♀️🏋️♀️
Finally some bloopers that made everything awesome. Thank though I been doing hip thrust with my hands fixed over head grabbing the bench for leverage but I do contract my core at the top not over arch my back
Experienced lifters know more about lifting than any science can teach. Theories mean absolutely nothing with a few hundred pounds on your back. But millenials only listen to millenials so carry on.
@@bdegrds Tell that to lifters 40 years ago. There's a reason Arnold managed to out-compete everyone of his day, and why strength standards have increased lately.
bought the womens specialization program the day it launched. Had some minor setbacks but i've done the first and second block and im on round two. I'm really loving it!
I’ve been training for about 7 years and I can confirm to my best knowledge that this is “da one” workout for ladies getting booty but not getting bulky at the same time. Grazie!! You two are perfect C
Damn Jeff your videos are absolutely amazing. Your scientific way of training is on point. That proves that you are a professional. And moreover your aesthetic physique is a straight up proof of your knowledge in anatomy and to all those studies. Awesome. Pure awesome.
Hey Jeff! Question: Why tuck the chin/gaze straight ahead during the positive? What I find is that I CAN do this and it's a bit more of a workout, but I don't HAVE to do this for safety. In fact, when my shoulders are acting up (have had a chronic problem with them), it feels great to keep my upper body aligned (gaze up as I extend the hips). I still get glute activation, but it feels better on my neck. Since you didn't specify the reason for the forward gaze, I wanted to hear your thoughts.
Hey Jeff you videos are really helpful and so concise with no fluff. Just want to remind you to relax when talking to the camera. (You have pretty frequent nervous laughs) Many fitness guys are shy and more of a do and a talker, which is much appreciated. So I don't mean to discourage you or picking faults. I really love your content and wish your performance better and better
Hi Jeff, I love your videos and I think you're one of the best on YT however on this one, the positioning of the neck is crucial. Maintaining a neutral neck is important to avoid getting neck injuries for people who suffer from them. The model displaying the hip thrusts maintains an arched neck which will lead to dull aches or even injury in the long run. Thanks!
thanks jeff, this really helps me workout my hamstring. ive struggled with this muscle area for a long time so this video is a god send! Just got back from the gym feeling an amazing hammy and glute pump from using this form
Excellent vid. Thanks! I had been doing what I thought were hip thrusts, but were actually glute bridges. My gym has just got a hip thrust bench and.... yeah, different ball game altogether, I had to drop a load of weight off the bar, and I'm feeling my way into it from first principles again, so this video is invaluable!
I learned a lot. Feet slightly more apart than shoulder with , flare feet a little. Make sure my lower and upper leg make a 90• angle. Before initiating the thrust , first clench the flutes , then Squeeze my glutes to move the weight straight up. Fully extend hips until cant move weight up any further. Tuck chin and rib cage down. At the top Squeeze glutes as if there was a coin between my cheeks , and act like I’m trying to prevent it from falling out. Bring my abs in downwards to support hip movement upwards. If I feel it more in quads than my flutes , try moving feet forward…; might feel it more in hamstrings. Do 1-3 seconds at top for intensity. FULLY LOCK OUT HIPS AT TOP.
Do you have any suggestions on how to diminish hip discomfort when having the bar on the hips? I seem to have very bony hips, and I'm finding it really difficult to get through high rep sets doing this exercise, even with a pad :/ otherwise I really love this exercise!
If it's like the glute bridge setup, pushing the bar into your quads (instead of resting it on your hip) will completely eliminate hip pain. That said, I've only tested it to about 225 lbs.
Iff you feel it more in your quads, that could be feedback that your sliding backwards on the bench with your back. Just try to rotate on the piece of your back thats conected with the bench.
Just tried it for the first time today, and got up to 315 for reps which was pretty heavy, but still manageable and gave a strong burn afterwards. Obviously having exp with other lifts will give a good head start on base strength because I never expected to be able to do that much on my first time trying, but this video is helpful to incorporate this exercise into my weight training. If I can eventually manage 5-6 plates, hopefully it can also bring up some of my other lifts.
1. I just strained a leg muscle in such a way that I can still do this but not squat so this came out just in time 2. I’d never heard of this exercise! Thanks!
For those who are finding their quads take over, one of the best ways is to raise the feet. Contreras talks about this, the higher your feet are in relation to your hips, the harder it is for the quads to work, so setting a bench up opposite and placing your feet on that can help isolate your glutes whilst keeping the hamstrings in contraction to prevent the knees extending.
*I definitely want to feel this in my butt more but I always end up working my thighs...any pointers?* Thank you for inspiring me to document and RUclips my fitness journey!
If you are feeling this in your quads you are probably sliding up the bench (or pushing back). Try to focus on the vertical thrust and make sure your feet aren't too far forward.
@@Sub7Fitness here we go again. I know you mean well dude but when you put your feet too forward you feel more hamstrings not quads. To the person above, if you want to feel less thighs make sure your feet aren't too close to your butt, put most of the pressure in your heels, try adding a band slightly above or below your knees and go higher up on the bench. Look into the american hip thrust.
@@nllc9779 Yes, if your feet are too far forward it shifts the focus to the hamstrings, if you are stationary on the bench. If you find yourself pushing back on the bench though, it leads to usage of the quads.
@@Sub7Fitness It's likely more quads if you put more pressure through the toes which could lead to being higher up on the bench. The act itself of being higher doesn't activate more quads.
since throwing in pre activation (very light) glute work before my leg days I have found I have been feeling all exercises in my glutes more! try out some simple bodyweight glute bridges first... mind muscle connection is so important to hit those glutes!
3 part deadlift mini-series starts next week! Hope you guys enjoy!

This really helped me fix my form on this one I could never quite figure it out on my own. I had the basic of it down but the tip about squeezing your glutes together and thrusting the hips forward at the top helped alot I can feel the whole movement alot better now!!! 🏋️♀️🏋️♀️🏋️♀️
Hands down the absolute best glute video on youtube 🔥🔥Just gotta squeeze the coin between the cheeks 😂😂
Nikita Karasik I agree absolutely but... Why is your name Nikita?😅
@@tipoftheiceberg7034 Nikita is a male name in Russia, Ukraine, maybe in other countries too.
I'm on my second week in the Women's Specialization Program!!
Finally some bloopers that made everything awesome. Thank though I been doing hip thrust with my hands fixed over head grabbing the bench for leverage but I do contract my core at the top not over arch my back
Those animations actually helped understand the technique perfectly
I love how every time you demonstrate what NOT to do, you guys wear headphones. Show us more "gym bro" form!
Experienced lifters know more about lifting than any science can teach. Theories mean absolutely nothing with a few hundred pounds on your back. But millenials only listen to millenials so carry on.
@@bdegrds Here we go with the anti-science founder of commen sense talk. You against vaccines too?
@@bdegrds Tell that to lifters 40 years ago. There's a reason Arnold managed to out-compete everyone of his day, and why strength standards have increased lately.
@@bdegrds your comment isn't even relevant to anything
bought the womens specialization program the day it launched. Had some minor setbacks but i've done the first and second block and im on round two. I'm really loving it!
I’ve been training for about 7 years and I can confirm to my best knowledge that this is “da one” workout for ladies getting booty but not getting bulky at the same time. Grazie!! You two are perfect C
I love and appreciate these two so much, especially Jeff Nippard. The science and information he provides is so phenomenally helpful.
Damn Jeff your videos are absolutely amazing. Your scientific way of training is on point. That proves that you are a professional. And moreover your aesthetic physique is a straight up proof of your knowledge in anatomy and to all those studies. Awesome. Pure awesome.
Fab video. I love how you acknowledge the set up positioning will vary from person to person slightly to find the sweet spot
Hey Jeff! Question: Why tuck the chin/gaze straight ahead during the positive? What I find is that I CAN do this and it's a bit more of a workout, but I don't HAVE to do this for safety. In fact, when my shoulders are acting up (have had a chronic problem with them), it feels great to keep my upper body aligned (gaze up as I extend the hips). I still get glute activation, but it feels better on my neck. Since you didn't specify the reason for the forward gaze, I wanted to hear your thoughts.
Hey Jeff you videos are really helpful and so concise with no fluff.
Just want to remind you to relax when talking to the camera. (You have pretty frequent nervous laughs)
Many fitness guys are shy and more of a do and a talker, which is much appreciated. So I don't mean to discourage you or picking faults. I really love your content and wish your performance better and better
Hi Jeff, I love your videos and I think you're one of the best on YT however on this one, the positioning of the neck is crucial. Maintaining a neutral neck is important to avoid getting neck injuries for people who suffer from them. The model displaying the hip thrusts maintains an arched neck which will lead to dull aches or even injury in the long run. Thanks!
Bret Contreras recommends this neck position in order to avoid overextension. Just a thought.
I incorporated this into leg day today, pretty happy with it. I actually searched for this not realizing you just posted it.
It’s so funny how the “heavy lifter” always has white headphones and a cap
thanks jeff, this really helps me workout my hamstring. ive struggled with this muscle area for a long time so this video is a god send! Just got back from the gym feeling an amazing hammy and glute pump from using this form
Dammn Stephanie in the intro now! as always, great production man
this channel is better than anything on tv
Been loving these videos lately. Super helpful! please continue making awesome content!!!
Excellent vid. Thanks! I had been doing what I thought were hip thrusts, but were actually glute bridges. My gym has just got a hip thrust bench and.... yeah, different ball game altogether, I had to drop a load of weight off the bar, and I'm feeling my way into it from first principles again, so this video is invaluable!
My lower back hurts from doing thrusts. Even though i really squeeze my glutes. Is it a si joint problem? I feel the same pain after deadlifts.
Watch this guys video. He talks about why your back might be hurting. ruclips.net/video/clGnCZG3jSw/видео.html
This is one of the few channels that I've remained subscribed to. And it's because of videos like this one. Very good tips and breakdown. 🥝🥝🥝
I've been looking through hip thrust instructional videos, and this is the BEST one I've found. I feel confident in trying them. =)
They're great! Everyone should do them, men or women. Especially if you also squat.
Thank you so much for providing the details on how to correctly perform hip thrusts. I was uncertain of how to perform them until now.
Wow, we love informative content!! Thank you Jeff and your whole team for producing such wonderful and helpful videos ☺️☺️
I learned a lot.
Feet slightly more apart than shoulder with , flare feet a little. Make sure my lower and upper leg make a 90• angle.
Before initiating the thrust , first clench the flutes , then Squeeze my glutes to move the weight straight up.
Fully extend hips until cant move weight up any further.
Tuck chin and rib cage down.
At the top Squeeze glutes as if there was a coin between my cheeks , and act like I’m trying to prevent it from falling out. Bring my abs in downwards to support hip movement upwards. If I feel it more in quads than my flutes , try moving feet forward…; might feel it more in hamstrings.
Do 1-3 seconds at top for intensity.
FULLY LOCK OUT HIPS AT TOP.
Do you have any suggestions on how to diminish hip discomfort when having the bar on the hips? I seem to have very bony hips, and I'm finding it really difficult to get through high rep sets doing this exercise, even with a pad :/ otherwise I really love this exercise!
Add extra padding. As much as you may need while still having control over the bar.
If it's like the glute bridge setup, pushing the bar into your quads (instead of resting it on your hip) will completely eliminate hip pain. That said, I've only tested it to about 225 lbs.
Very nice illustration! I was watching this without sound and was still able to see the key points for movement
Wow the best video ever thank you so much for your time and shared this with us💪🏼
Omg youre the king of explaining in a way anyone could understand. Love your demeanor. You’re gf is lucky
Therapist: Don't worry, Bro Steph doesn't exist. She can't hurt you.
Bro Steph:
Bro Steph needs an entire video, like when Bro Jeff taught Technique Tuesday
THANK YOU!! I looove hip thrusts. I NEVER see anyone at my gym doing it. Such and underrated exercise.
I love that even his girlfriend has an alternate outfit to denote when she is bro-lifting
trying these out for the first time today and i’m hyped lmao
She looks like a sims character lol. Love this explanation though. Makes it very easy to do hip thrusts
All we gotta do is show up! jeff has done our homework for us AGAIN. Thank you!
Iff you feel it more in your quads, that could be feedback that your sliding backwards on the bench with your back. Just try to rotate on the piece of your back thats conected with the bench.
love this feeling when I finally get an exercise right and feel the buuurn! thank you!
I used a chocolate coin....things didn't go well
@@nateinsane4023 Oh yeah yeah
i used a normal coin to begin with but at the end of my set i had a chocolate coin for some reason
are you sure thats chocolate?
@@nahthatyou4103 hmm mine started also as a coin, but i ended up with peanut butter... Hmm
Hahaha I suppose it was a mess but your glutes ended up stronger!
this new animation is so helpful, please keep up the good work!
Idk why but i thought the vid of Stephanie was a 3D rendition lol
Kee Xiong dude I can’t unsee that now that you pointed it out lol
Started doing these. Man, do you ever catch a burn in your glutes. Highly recommended.
Lmao I love Jeff's accent, every time he says bar I have to say bar out-loud with him... why didn't I pick up that canadianism myself hehe
Thank you. I have been feeling some lower back pain so I will try those suggestions. I love your technique Tuesday! They really do help!
She is literally so perfect looking, she looks like a video game character!
She looks very different now.
@@lgeiger How so?
@@heatherproctor5691 he's probably referring to her weight gain since she went "all in"..she still looks perfect to me tho 🤷♀️
Christina Reynolds lol. I don’t have time to scroll and read comments. I just post my own
Christina Reynolds 😂 haha. Later toots! Have fun scrolling and trolling.
Just tried it for the first time today, and got up to 315 for reps which was pretty heavy, but still manageable and gave a strong burn afterwards. Obviously having exp with other lifts will give a good head start on base strength because I never expected to be able to do that much on my first time trying, but this video is helpful to incorporate this exercise into my weight training. If I can eventually manage 5-6 plates, hopefully it can also bring up some of my other lifts.
4yrs later how did it help?
1. I just strained a leg muscle in such a way that I can still do this but not squat so this came out just in time
2. I’d never heard of this exercise! Thanks!
For those who are finding their quads take over, one of the best ways is to raise the feet. Contreras talks about this, the higher your feet are in relation to your hips, the harder it is for the quads to work, so setting a bench up opposite and placing your feet on that can help isolate your glutes whilst keeping the hamstrings in contraction to prevent the knees extending.
makes sense
Does the program order include a coin for training purposes?
I suffers from some mild knee pain and squats can really affect it. I think I'm going to give this a try and see if it's easier on my knee
This is literally the only thing women do at the gym when I'm there
Lol same case for my gym...along with the hip adductor/abductor machines
Kind of like how men often focus solely on upper body. Priorities.
Great video. Anyone else notice the blurring? I swear I wasn't looking there but something drew my gaze
I remember the first time i was in the gym watching your exact videos and i stil find myself back here love your videos nippard😅😂
*I definitely want to feel this in my butt more but I always end up working my thighs...any pointers?*
Thank you for inspiring me to document and RUclips my fitness journey!
If you are feeling this in your quads you are probably sliding up the bench (or pushing back). Try to focus on the vertical thrust and make sure your feet aren't too far forward.
@@Sub7Fitness here we go again. I know you mean well dude but when you put your feet too forward you feel more hamstrings not quads. To the person above, if you want to feel less thighs make sure your feet aren't too close to your butt, put most of the pressure in your heels, try adding a band slightly above or below your knees and go higher up on the bench. Look into the american hip thrust.
@@nllc9779 Yes, if your feet are too far forward it shifts the focus to the hamstrings, if you are stationary on the bench.
If you find yourself pushing back on the bench though, it leads to usage of the quads.
@@Sub7Fitness It's likely more quads if you put more pressure through the toes which could lead to being higher up on the bench. The act itself of being higher doesn't activate more quads.
since throwing in pre activation (very light) glute work before my leg days I have found I have been feeling all exercises in my glutes more! try out some simple bodyweight glute bridges first... mind muscle connection is so important to hit those glutes!
In the gym and felt like I was doing these wrong!!! Thank you for this video!
2:20 is when he shows us (:
