Hip Thrusts | Why and How Men Should Be Doing It

Do you want bigger, stronger glutes? Then you really need to try this move. Yes, really. Hip thrusts are the perfect addition to any leg day routine, designed to improve explosive speed and power while improving your other lifts like squats and deadlifts.

Targeted Muscles

 It’s not just your glutes that’ll benefit from hip thrusts, because this compound exercise also targets your hamstrings. As the hamstrings contribute to hip extension (pushing your hips forward), they will be act as the synergist (assisting) muscle in the movement.

And, by adding a resistance band around your knees, you can include external rotation into the movement that targets the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus.
