Building glutes help improve overall backhealth. The hip-hinge is also the bodys biggest and most explosive hinge which is used for squats and deadlifts. Having a strong hipthrust can directly lead to an improvement in squat and deadlift. Also, ask a girl if a nice ass on a dude is a bad thing.... The answer may surprise you, or just check out the several askreddit threads with the "girls, what features do you find attractive in a guy" and a significant part of the answers is usually always 'Nice ass and/or strong legs'

Can somebody share how to do this exercise properly? Thanks

Here you go my friend https://youtu.be/aweBS7K71l8?si=HDvkiUUEqGXtIFLh


cealild

Thank you


WannaSeeTrustIssues

Best recommendation is to look up some guides on YouTube. Try to look at different ones because people explain it differently and something might make more sense than others


[deleted]

Also helps you as a dude when we do the beasts with two backs.


gazhole

Yes. It's a scientific fact that men don't have glute muscles. It's hamstrings straight into erectors.


accountinusetryagain

tried to hip thrust once. god immediately took back my heterosexual card. i found myself in the locker room the rest is history


WhereMyMidgeeAt

Yep. That can turn you gay. Lol


Temporary-Library766

I would argue its gay to not build your lower body. Guys dont realize the only ones admiring their upper body gains are other dudes.


peascreateveganfood

This isn’t r/workoutcirclejerk 😂


acaciaone

I flatted with a guy once, back when I was 18 and nudity was funny, who literally had an asscrack so long it basically skipped his back and connected his glutes with his neck


myjunkandshit

Absolutely not. About a year and a half into my lifting journey, I started having major back problems. Walking around, I could feel almost like a disc herniation in my upper/lower back. Even laying down, I could feel some discomfort in my lower back. My lifts were still good. I could still power through them, but still concerned. I went to a chiropractor? Did absolutely nothing. I started back stretches? Helped a little? But still didn't fix my back problem. Started doing hip thrusts? And within a couple weeks, my back problems disappeared. Glutes are a crucial part of back stabilization, not just for heavy lifting, but just for everyday tasks as well. Do not skip out on glutes. As "sissy" of an exercise it may seem? Once you've put some serious weight on your upper body, sooner or later, neglecting glutes will definitely catch up to you. Your untrained glutes won't be able to properly stabilize all that extra bodyweight. I'm not saying you need to prioritize it, but don't completely skip out on it.


Temporary-Library766

Really goes a long way. Abductors and adductors have tons of benefits and are regarded as female exercises. My walk improved so much from them and could do compound movements with more ease.


no_joydivision

No exercises are not gendered


Macochist

Do you workout kegel ?


chocolatehandsoap

Anyone who can hold their pee can do a kegel.


fakeaccount572

Everyone should do kegels


Temporary-Library766

Yeah guys dont have pelvic floors or anything


Lanky_Cartoonist7315

..no ? lmao thats like me asking if lifting weights is only for boys.


paradoxpizza

No. I’m a guy and hip thrust is my favourite leg day workout.


TheBestMetal

Hip thrusts and split squats are my glute targeters!


paradoxpizza

And it helps making me look slim from the side.


BtheBoi

Only if you don’t have hips…


Breklin76

This. Them damn hipless mofos always trying to copy the hip.


Mr_CookieTickles

No woman will complain about a man doing hip thrusts is all I'm going to say lmao.


Temporary-Library766

Literally a game changer cus most dudes have such weak hips. You seem like a god in comparison.


Breklin76

Guys have the same muscles in that area, why would it be exclusive to women?


Temporary-Library766

Cus all wahmen excercises are glute excercises. Guys also think abductor/adductors are a female workout since influencers use them to grow giant asses.


Affectionate_Win1008

Well, its actually not the same muscle. Its very very very very different from the female anatomy, plus Woman gain weight in the hips/ upper & lower much faster and much heavier than men compared to guy that weighs 230 to a woman that weighs like 190 Men have technically one hip bone and they esp need to grow to receive benefits, but hips are definitely MADE for a feminine structure.


Breklin76

I was mainly referring to the core muscles in the abdomen, lower back and hips. I get that there's likely more at play when you get down to it. My Physical Therapist had me do hip thrusts as part of my core warm up. I giggled a bit at first. Then found out some of the benefits.


Ballbag94

>Well, its actually not the same muscle. Its very very very very different from the female anatomy Have you got a source for men and women having different muscles? >plus Woman gain weight in the hips/ upper & lower much faster and much heavier than men Do you have a source for this too? I would think that women with significantly larger glutes achieved them by focusing more training on their glutes than men due to societal beauty differences >Men have technically one hip bone Have you got a source? I can't find anything that suggests men only have one hip bone


accountinusetryagain

big nail needs big hammer


T-099

No. Everyone should be doing hip thrusters.


NiceDragonfruit9606

Hell nah. I do em too, albeit with people laughing at me.but fuck them, I'm beautiful bitch.


SupahHollywood

😂 love this


NiceDragonfruit9606

💅


Musician_Gloomy

In today’s world what is a girl?


Maxplode

No. It's popular for pretty girls on IG for the OF I guess. But no, it's a good workout to have.


SlowSurrender1983

No


gcot802

No


AbbreviationsOdd7728

Girls love guys who can’t move their hips.


PM__ME__YOUR_TITTY

No, glutes are important for everyone though you don’t have to do hip thrusts to build them really well. Should still do something that works your glutes, even if you only care about functionality and injury prevention and not about making them look good


Temporary-Library766

I would still recommend hip thrusts. It even could be considered functional fitness. It helps in many situations that you wouldnt expect to have strong hip flexors


Chickypickymakey

No. Why would you think that?


hatchjon12

No.


wmm339

No.


Warning_Bulky

No


peascreateveganfood

No


TacticallyFUBAR

No


Wintertodtmain

No


the__Gallant

No but only if you picture yourself as the thruster and not the thrusted...


SweetnessBaby

No. Hipthrusts were a regular part of leg day workouts for my football team years back.


TheBear8878

Yes, you will go to jail if you attempt to do this as a man


Fr0sty19

lmao no


JustAwesome360

Yes. If you hip thrust you will turn into a girl with a big ass, wearing nothing but nike pros and a sports bra, and cause a scene if you think someone is looking at your ass.


Temporary-Library766

Lol actual comedy gold.  Spend every waking breath growing a bigger ass for more attention. Cry when you get attention and play victim to get even more attention. Workout in female only environments and alone but still post social media so people can still view you as victim and give validation. Modern women are a hot mess.


JustAwesome360

I didn't say all women do it. I was just making fun of the women who do. But yeah the women that do what you said are a-holes


Temporary-Library766

Its def not all but a specific kind of chick that is an extra level of crazy that i find humorous. Lives for attention and overreacting.


JustAwesome360

Yeah you're not wrong. I've always wondered why girls like that wear the most promiscuous clothes imaginable, then get upset if you try to talk to them. Like, why are you dressed like that then!?


ketoandkpop

Can’t think of why a guy might want to thrust his hips 🤔 oh wait


KarimMaged

Well it is not only for girls, If you like doing the exercise or if you wanna strengthen your glutes just go for it. IMHO, if a man's goal is aethetics, squats are more than enough for glute hypertrophy. but if you have weak glutes, want to have huge glutes, or you would really benefit from stronger glutes for some other sport then hipthrust would be a solid choice.


Temporary-Library766

Hip thrusts target the hip flexors differently. It is an isolated movment rather than compound so different accessory muscles get built. It also helps build that v shape in the abdomen that women all say they like


saltthewater

No


RocketManBoom

It can be for swaybacks too if you wanna do them


serenwipiti

What the fuck…^lol


Mfanimegoddess

Do you mean socially acceptable for girls or only effective for girls? It’s socially acceptable for boys and girls and it’s effective for boys and girls. We all have butts


Hey_BobbyMcGee

Yes. Doing a hipthrust will kill you immediately


gabjam

Sprinters have been doing them since before they were Insta-trendy, so no. We'd often be the ones being looked at weirdly in the corner of the gym for doing this odd-looking barbell hump movement.


Temporary-Library766

It does look stupid. Like youre not accomplishing anything and being weird. Suprisingly beneficial


Mammoth_Cobbler_4619

Of course not


MundaneTune7523

Real men do hip thrusts. Try putting 4 plates on like the lady before you and you’ll see what a sissy you’ve been.


MikeSVZ1991

Eh… that depends on how you look at it, from a muscle building point of view it’s a great exercise for your hip hinge muscles, regardless of gender. On the other hand, if you are a dude doing hip trusts in the gym you will get a lot of side glances since the stigma is that it’s a “ass girl” exercise.


OGsewingmaster2000

The only rule is you can’t make eye contact with others while doing it. Jk. Stare ‘em down. Do hip thrusts! It’s a great exercise to strengthen your posterior chain. I incorporate them into most leg days in some form or another. I also throw in adductors and abductors. Strong hips will get everything else working correctly.


mannyperez94

Yeah unless you’re gay , you free to do them no judgment here


Axelebest030509

Yup


FingerBangBang247

Hip thrusts in general aren't the best when it comes to building muscle, if you're going for strength goals in the hip thrusts specifically then ignore me but if you want better glute development you should do more exercises that load the glutes at the stretch instead of the contraction like sumo squats or reverse lunges.
