Why would you ever do squats and blow up the quads - the ugliest and most aesthetically ungainly muscles in the body - when hip thrusts are the superior leg compound that blows up the highly desirable glute muscles universally beloved by both men and women?
>>75468639Stfu fag i don't work out for you low iq cattle I work out to kill people when this all crumbles away. I will be capable of great violence, and express true rage. I want unfettered strength, I want to scared the hoes not attract them. I want fear in their eyes when I penetrate a woman. I don't want I be their lover, I want to dominate. Fuck this looking good shit. I hate you, I will be stronger than you and take everything you have away from you. I will do my fucking Squats, and my hip thrusts and you will be ontop of a growing corpse pile of weakling female pleasers. I will be a warrior.
>>75468670You take one step near me thunder thighs and I hip bunt you head over your heels
>>75468670based
>>75468639Because hip thrusts are an esthetic exercise while squats are a fundamental motion. Squats help you lift stuff off the ground or get up.
>>75468639hip thrusts have a higher activation for the glutes, but the squat, hand over fist, makes your glutes grow more. The idea that hip thrusts are better comes from the fact no one bothers to squat heavy ass weight. It's easy to take your hip thrusts to 405 - and you even petite girls going that heavy, but if they took their squat to 405, their glutes would be fucking massive. But the real answer is you just do both.
>>75468816And where does life fundamentally begin? Nothing is more fundamental than conception. Before anyone can lift anything off the ground they need to become a zygote. Hip thrusts are the most Darwinian exercise.>>75468956If you want giant uggo quads. It's simply a question of aesthetics, which is what bodybuilding is about: giant glutes look great always, giant quads are monstrous.
>>75468956>hip thrusts have a higher activation for the glutes, but the squat, hand over fist, makes your glutes grow more.only if u bend not squat, squat is with vertical torso, straightened spine in all curves and neutral pelvis which u lower in-between heels not behind - when u do it like so with pvc overhead it is all quads and adductors >The idea that hip thrusts are betterthis one is faulty also, u won't get any gluteus maximus hip thrusting with anterior pelvic tilt and lumbar extension, u are gonna get QL mostly, not even hams, and if u don't control whether u pull or push with hams or quads it is just plain as retarded as ur heavy squat with abormally heavy stick - loads QL quads and fucks ur posture glutes: upper back on elevation, full lumbar flexion and full posterior pelvic tilt, what u want to make sure of is that u do not push with quads nor pull with hams>and then what? nothing just hold it and try to crank more posterior pelvic tilt, u will find it near impossible to hold without flexing quads nor hams because u are lifting ur "hips" with just glutes maximus by the way squats love to skip gluteus maximus for medius hence the fugly tumors visible in bodybuilders and then i tried to do it one legged and got nasty fucking doms on hams, yesterday i tried it again and hams feel fine - worked - but what i discovered is that middle of trap has been definitely worked >how so? u gotta spread your arms to not roll if u do one legged bridge - hams and glutes and middle of traps, a litle too much for my taste in one movement but like start with both legs and loose hams and quads and then move to one legged with hams pulling, even if it doesn't pan out the middle of traps is worth it anyways and bot tells u to do this motion for rear delt lol: >>75464984https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21ZTg-WB3Wk [Embed]>>75465032
>hip thrusts don't have real world applicatio-
>>754695406th minute bothttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=364Dmx0YZtEshe knows some of what i am talking about here:>>75469535she is calling it scooping and she bends her knees standing because she has very tight iliopsoas (probably trying hard to get abs)>but she reps 140 kgs and u do it without weightbut she is not flexing lumbar spine enough to isolate glutes from QL because she is holding the weight, in my version lumbar is fully flexed, thoracic is fully extended and legs are supposed to be soft it's like comparing deadlift to some obscure rear delt isolation>>75464702of course u're gonna use less weight but she does correctly recognize that "lower back" pain is a problem in regular weighted hip thrust
The hip thrust is an annoying exercise that requires a billion plates to do anything
>>75468670dangerously based
>>75469622>The hip thrust is an annoying exercise that requires a billion plates to do anythingor no plates if know what u are doing and flex lumbar spine fully and extend thoracic spine and keep your legs neutral - neither push with quads nor pull with hams >>75469616>>75469535depends on what u are actually doing in that upper back elevated bridge >>75469634bot has got to say something :D anything :D

>>75469535>only if u bend not squat, squat is with vertical torso, straightened spine in all curves and neutral pelvis which u lower in-between heels not behind - when u do it like so with pvc overhead it is all quads and adductorsThis is some pretentious, pseudo-intellectual bullshit from someone clearly trying way too hard to sound smart. Squats don’t need a perfectly vertical torso to “work,” and anyone who’s spent more than five minutes under a bar knows this. Low-bar squats literally depend on a forward lean to engage the glutes and posterior chain, and even high-bar squats hit glutes if you’re not skipping depth like a goddamn amateur. Bringing up PVC squats is just laughable—you’re not impressing anyone by comparing actual loaded mechanics to lightweight practice nonsense. If all you’re feeling is quads and adductors, it’s not because squats are flawed; it’s because your form sucks and you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. Stop throwing in big words to cover up for weak lifts.
Big quads are awkward and gaucheBig glutes are handsome and erotic
>>75469748>This is some pretentious, pseudo-intellectual bullshit from someone clearly trying way too hard to sound smart.no u bad bot let us go further then:>Squats don’t need a perfectly vertical torso to “work,” yeah just throw big weight on back and don't worry that it pulls like a motherfucker on knee, that your spine is all twisted, that u assumed rapee anterior tilt of pelvis positiong with ur butt stuck out, overall atrocious posture - it will work just get down and up with it u say >Low-bar squats literally depend on a forward lean to engage the glutes and posterior chainit's a bend bot with atrocious posture, it's so ridiculous at times that i could imagine sb lowbar "squatting" with completely severed quads lol >and even high-bar squats hit glutes if you’re not skipping depth like a goddamn amateur.yes even highbar even frontsquat even chink weightlifter squat is all wrong and not an squat at all and just a bend with twisted spine and misaligned pelvis >If all you’re feeling is quads and adductors, it’s not because squats are flawed;that's what u should feel during squat bot, a proper squat guides knees in line with toes on its own meaning u don't have to consciously spread your knees so they don't cave in u basically said nothing bot - stick to fucking subject >>75469616 bot, the hip thrust, the real hip thrust, the gluteus maximus isolation movement >>75469535oh lets make it as simple as possible: should u be "scooping" like this personal trainer says? >>75469616>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=364Dmx0YZtE [Embed]or just fucking load as much as u can lift and don't worry one bit about spine and pelvis positioning, to get gluteus maximus of course, what do u say bot :D ?
>>75468639Agree on the quads, ugly ass muscle wheb overdeveloped. I just do some leg extensions after deads and call it a day.To that end, romanian deadlift mogs hip thrusts way way over. Plus you get some nice trap and grip work, lower back too.
>>75468639Hip thrusts aren't even the best glute compound and that's how I know you're an ultra dyel.
>>75469856You have never posted your lifts or body and you're retarded but I do appreciate you derailing these threads aussie/eurofag/Asian anon
>>75469882Wrong
>>75469916RDLs & good mornings blow them out of the water, it's not even close. L2hip-hinge.
>>75469641I AM GOING TO RAPE YOU, BOTSCHIZO. THERE IS NO ESCAPE.
>>75469930Both hamstring dominant exercises done at much lower weight. Try again (by doing hip thrusts).
>>75470114>at much lower weight >hamstrings>rdls and good mornings Genuinely fucking tell me you're a DYEL who doesn't know how to hip hinge and has also probably literally never done a good morning without telling me. I RDL & GM 3pl8. Sorry you're weak. L2hip-hinge
>>75468639Agree
>>75470153>RDL>not hamstringsI want to see that RDL it's 100% a spastic partial DL to just above the knee
>>75470171I meant good mornings - arguably its more posterior chain/glutes/low back than hammies, but I didn't format my post in an intelligent or easy to read format to explain that, so you win there. With that being said; the point of this thread is that you don't like how quads look for whatever reason, I'll never understand that opinion, unless you mean quads that are over developed compared to someone's upper body. So why are you crying about it being a hamstring dominant exercise? It's okay if you really like hip thrusts OP but definitely broaden your horizons there, good mornings especially are overlooked because they look hard but I would genuinely recommend them, even at low weight, high rep schemes.
When your kids ask you to pick them up are you going to squat or hip thrust? Plus hip thrusts are so annoying to set up>finding floor space>bring bench over>bring barbell over>bring weights over>bring hip pad over>set up weights>do your 3 sets>Put everything back where it belongs like a good Christian shouldBy the time you did all that, 30 minutes has gone by, just for 1 exercise. Doesn't help that my gym is small as fuck so there's no space for a bench on the gym floor and bringing the barbell across the gym floor you're basically at risk of hitting equipment and people with it as you're walking
>>75468639I want to be able to pick up my children foreverYou want a fat ass so you can attract men
>>75470182I'm not the anon you responded to or OP, I just pointed that out about RDLs. I agree hip thrust are meh compared to most alternatives and comparing it to a squat doesn't even make sense as it's fundamentally a different lift. I pull 5pl8+ from the floor, for me RDLs always were practically hamstrings only and I don't see how it cannot be biomechanically if you are doing it how you're supposed to.My deadlift off the floor has some glute involvement (if I groove correctly, if I groove it badly it's all hamstrings and lower back) but it's still majorly hamstrings, my squat is all quads and ass to the extent where I can program deadlifts the day after squats. Never liked good mornings, I do weighted back extensions in the GHR with a barbell on my back and strangely they hit my glutes the most out of any hinge. If you have a GHR apparatus in your gym I highly recommend it.
>>75468670>growing corpse pile of weakling female pleasersToo based for this board
>>75468670Based but it’s not a race it’s a marathon. What happens when I CANT LET YOU GET CLOSE TO ME or zip zooting away, then turn 360 degrees around or come back and gape you when you’re gassed.The bro split + sprinting and cardio is unironically the best prep for the apocalypse, it’s why it comes so naturally to most men (or at least one of the two).Squats and hip thrusts just seem like the costs of doing business for advancing certain lifts.
>>75468639girl exercise.
>>75471507It's a fucking exercise. When you fuck you thrust your hips into your girls vagina. Reap niggas know
>>75468639I'm the biggest shill for hip thrusts but you should definitely do both.
>>75471548But which one is your main exercise and which one is the accessory?
>>75471560Hip thrusts are an accessory.
>>75468670>gets shot by a portland twinkoid and dies
>>75471560Main lifts must be compounds. Less joints under load = less of a compound lift.
>>75471664>>75471687But hip thrusts are also quite compound movement
>>75471560>>75471664This is retarded. It depends. If you can squat 500 but hardly hip thrust 200, you should make hip thrusts your main movement for a while. That simple. Your glutes are lagging? Program in hip thrust to have the highest priority.
>>75469641>or no plates if know what u are doing and flex lumbar spine fully and extend thoracic spine and keep your legs neutral - neither push with quads nor pull with hamsThis man knows his hip thrusts.
>>75471560I treat them both as primary movements.
>>75470153Hip thrusts are done at much higher weights than any deadlift or good morning and blow those hamstring movements out of the water for glute activation and pump. You don't know because you don't hip thrust and don't know what you're talking about.
>>75468639Manlet detected. Squats aren't just going to give you tumor quads of you have normal length legs
>>75468670>fucking black tranniesSeriously?
