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??

@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. I don't know if I'd go so far as to call it casual sexism, but you should be more careful about making flippant remarks about entrenched gender roles then trying to get out of it by "Oh, it was only a joke.

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.

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 probably one of the highest production value I've seen in a while. Keep this up!

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!!!

@gloria2979

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

Omg I love this. It's so helpful to see correct technique, 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.

This is so handy. I was definitely arching my back. My lumbers were in spasm after and I had to take a walk around the gym😂. A video to bookmark!!

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

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!!! 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️

THANK YOU!! I looove hip thrusts. I NEVER see anyone at my gym doing it. Such and underrated exercise.

Tried this for the first time ever yesterday, my butt is feeling the power today-- awesome exercise!

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.

Very nice illustration! I was watching this without sound and was still able to see the key points for movement

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.

3:15 Wait is that why I constantly find coins in gyms?!? I wish I could say I never picked em up...

Very well explained with perfect diagrams to illustrate and drive home certain points . Great content . Subbed

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!

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!

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.

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!
