💥 Hip Thrust vs. Squat - Which lift is better for building your 🍑? Both powerhouse exercises have been shown to increase hypertrophy and target different parts of the glute but here’s the breakdown: 🔹 Hip Thrusts: → Puts more consistent tension on the glutes → Creates a bigger glute “pump” → Less overall muscle soreness post workout 🔹 Squats: → Greater overall muscle damage, a mechanism for muscle building → More overall body activation “pump” → Glute muscles kick in halfway up the exercise ✅ Final answer? Do both. These exercises hit your glutes in different (but complementary) ways. Rotate both versions into your workouts for best results. Exercises shown above: 1) Barbell Hip Thrust, 2) Back Squats 📲 Ready to grow your glutes with science-backed programming?
