HIP THRUSTS are great for the glutes because they maximize mechanical tension at full hip extension—the exact position where the gluteus maximus exerts its GREATEST leverage and force. Unlike squats, which load the glutes most in a stretched position, hip thrusts isolate the upper portion of the movement while minimizing heavy quadriceps and lower back fatigue. Why Hip Thrusts Work Peak Contraction: The highest resistance occurs at the top lockout position, forcing the glutes to fire intensely.

Day 34 glute maxing until my butt gets too big for my pants. Today was a light day and I’m essentially rehabbing my muscle between heavy days. I do this to lower my risk of injury since I’m working my glutes out so often #glutes #gluteworkout #fitnessjourney #workout #glutemaxing
