STRONG Gym - Hip Thrust and Olympic Squats.

[FieldBoy111]

Looks like the guy is cringing more from the annoying pain that bar puts into the pelvic bone than from doing the actual exercise.

I found rolling a streching mat around the bar works well for getting optimal padding.

Dudes got that good docilimorphic bone structure which favors squatting movements.

Those hip thrusts are very effective to strengthen the gluteus maximus and the erector spinae.The gluteus get a totally different,better ,workout than when squatting.

Try it and you'll notice it the next day when just walking around.It feels like you can explode yourself forward.

Hi

I always wondered if those hip extension helped for power clean/snatch because the biomechanic is the same???

[StrongGym]

@mister100m It would definetely benefit as a general exercise to greatly strengthen your posterior chain without wearing out your CNS.

[Manuelcr7]

you should learn better form and do less reps

[newerest1]

[cheesedips]

ouch looks painful as hell...wouldnt rdl s help the same?

[StrongGym]

@cheesedips The load is completely different and you actually recieve a much higher amount of glute activation.

[Danielote12276]

what is this exercise for? does it help increase squat?

[StrongGym]

@Danielote12276 It helps increase the strength of your posterior chain to help with your squat and deadlift.
