    It seems the op just challenged fitness dogma, and it's pretty much been a gang assault on the op ever since.

    Nah... its cause im a obnoxious *kitten*.... but i love it...

    Plenty of other people have suggested hip thrusts in other threads and nothing like this has ever occurred. i am just one of a kind.

    Here you go. It was taken 4 weeks ago and back then i wasn't holding on to the bar tight enough before lift up so it looks unstable and plates swinging too much. My form is MUCH better now and i really hold on to the bar to stabilize so it doesn't swing as much. I swear to god i did 200 lbs today... ive been doing 195 lbs for a few weeks now...

    The vid is 15 seconds because it's from Instagram. I don't have the original vid anymore

    Nice! :drinker:

    Some people are better at some exercises than others. You really didn't need to prove ****, ya know, but keep on thrusting and maybe use that posterior chain to improve your other lifts. :drinker:

    Have you even read what people had an issue with?

    Also....

    Why were you banned from bb.com for a month?

    For "Calling Out A Raid" on a sub forum. Someone wrote something on a sub forum that was laughable so I went into the more popular forum and told folks to go in that particular forum which they did and started mocking her... I have been banned other times for fighting with others etc

    White Knighting her? Good cause!

    You can't white knight for a female against females. It's more like squirting two cats mating with a water hose.

    I love it when people start topics with a legitimate topic but their toxic personality totally ruins what they were trying to say. Gotta have a 'tude if you're giving advice. Totally gives 'em street cred, yo.

    This went downhill within like 3 comments.
    I'm impressed.

    On a side note, am I the only one who doesn't have barbells in my gym? We only have dumbbells.
    Not sure I can thrust in the gym anyway without laughing at my own intense public perversion.

    Is your gym one of those 24 hour gyms? I used to go to one of those, and they didn't have "free" barbells because there was no one there at night to make sure we didn't kill ourselves with them, so they couldn't get insurance if they had them. We did have one of those rack-things, where the barbell is on a track. Not sure what those are called at the moment.

    YES! Thank you. I hate when you know the word, but it just won't come out.

    WOW, this thread! :laugh:

    I hip thrust and glute bridge, but view those as accessory lifts. I continue to squat and DL.

    I started hip thrusting and glute bridging as just bodyweight exercises, which I'm pretty sure is what Contreras recommends, and later added weight. I started with an empty barbell, as I did with every single exercise I do.

    At this point, my bb glute bridges and hip thrusts are at just a slightly higher weight than my DL 1RM, but I do 10 reps/5 sets of the glute bridges/hip thrusts.

    I think they're ALL great exercises for building strength and power, and improving the look of one's booty.

    Like Sara said, OP's attitude really got in the way of what could have been a productive thread. That's a shame.

    Me too. Happens to me all the time.

    One good thing that has come out of the thread for me...a reminder that I need to do them more often, and to refresh my reading on Contreras' stuff.

    No, it's just a free gym. So I can't really complain :laugh: We have everything except barbells. Which makes me feel like a weirdo on MFP, because apparently without barbells you are NOTHING! NOTHING!

    I have worked out with dumbbells and bars. IMO bells can be harder as they are less stable. It's certainly easier to OHP or bench a 20kg olympic bar than it is to do the same weight in dumbbells. So you are probably working harder than you think! :wink:

    Ain't that the truth! My last upper-body workout included dumbbell bench presses. And you know what? *kitten* those!

    Hip thrusts are not a "finisher" for squats. It is a hip hinge movement pattern, like a deadlift, and you are not going to reach your full glute potential without it. For what it's worth, I'm hip thrusting 255 lbs (116 kg) for 10 reps with a 10-second iso hold after each set. I also squat pretty heavy (220 lbs) for a woman my size, so I'm well aware of the benefits of heavy squats. But if you care at all about glute training and you're not doing hip thrusts, you should be.

    Once upon a time, in a gym class, the instructor had us do bridges with dumbbells. We did them on the floor. Does it make a difference whether done on the floor or the bench?

    This thread has gotten very strange …

    But I can't stay away. Gotta watch the drama unfold till the end.

    Indeed. Would rather get back to the bridges/hip thrusts...are they the same, btw?
    Nevermind.
