It's unfortunate that the OP had to turn a good topic into this nonsense post. Just because she has a napoleon complex.
It is kind of a shame. Nothing destroys a thread like sheer lunacy.
I still think barbell thrusts are a good accessory lift, but they are certainly not the be all, end all.0 -

Sounds like you roll your own tampons and can kick start a vibrator...and your vag may have teeth.
I find posturing unsexy
AB workout done now...thanks.0 -
can't believe everyone's (sorry not everyone) still hatin' on you.
love you for letting me know about these - have DOMS in my *kitten* - that hasn't happened for awhile.
AND i'd leave a gym where you weren't allowed to drop the weights (i work out at home so its not an issue for me
) - safety first, why put extra strain on your back if you're going for a new PR 
Dropping weights for safety or on a 1RM is not the same as slamming around the weights to make you look "badass"0 -

I'm on a lunch - lets roll this sucker. Maybe the 2nd thread will only be filled with good information about hip thrust - not ego, badassery* and unsafe advice on starting weights.
IF you do these for the first time use the BAR and work your way up. :flowerforyou:

When did I say 70 lbs for SQUAT? I said HIP THRUSTS... and I still stand by that...
Do you even read?
So you only commented on the first page - ok then :huh:
NO I don't have time to read 20 pages and apparently neither did the person who chose to ONLY quote your posts from the 1st page. *smh*
Do you even count? :laugh:0 -
I have never been able to get a good groove going with barbell glute bridges or hip thrusts, but I do get an extraordinary glute workout from SLDL's. My $.020

We went to the gym on Sunday & I convinced my DH to try weighted bridges. We started with the bare bar and it was waaaaaaay too easy for both of us (from the floor). It felt like nothing but getting plates on to the bar & getting going with a real set wasn't something we were ready to do yet (logistics, thanks for the link btw) we couldn't quite figure how to load less than #2 45# plates & then there was the issue of padding of some sort.
Does anyone know if we can use foam pipe insulation on the bar or do we need to buy some kind of padding?
Haven't figured out a way to work them in to our workouts yet but will likely use as a finisher as someone already suggested. Currently doing squats, DL, straight legged DL, OHP, etc. all compound, 5x3.
I'm also looking for a way to work in kb on our off days, soooo..yeah. There's that. Anyhow, dramatics aside, I guess we'll see this week how this pans out.
Use the pad that people use for squats... take it from the squat rack
doy :laugh: I didn't think of that :drinker: I'll do that next time. I forgot to mention, I saw there was a guy at our gym using a 45# plate on a bench to do one legged dip looking things...are these also a thing? If so, what please?0 -

Agreed and as I am returning to lifting (only using barbell this time) I would like some good information and experieces about this. I love my squats and wont be giving those up but if this is presented properly (not with some "badass" trying to shove her way down my throat) I would consider incorporating these into my workout at some point.
As for the antics in the gym..Yah no one looks at someone doing that as a badass...more of a dumbass and they are really just shaking their heads and are in disbelief...0 -

Original PostJust read this thread http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1106697-flat-bum of someone asking advice about what to do about a flat butt and everyone is like SQUATS.... Yes; barbell squats are one of the compound moves you should do for dat *kitten*.
But are you aware that barbell hip thrusts have been scientifically proven in EMG testing to stimulate MORE glute activity than squats or deadlifts....???? It is the #1 exercise for everyone that wants a nice booty. In addition to hip thrusts you should do barbell squats, deads and other accessory exercises etc but hip thrusts are the most effective...
For form advice search for "Bret Contreras on Youtube" and watch videos on how to perform them.
People are not giving the hip thrust the respect it deserves. Guarantee that if you are doing it right you will feel it in your *kitten* more than squats ever...
Start with body weight and then just 95lbs on the barbell working up to 225lbs... Eventually you will want to be able to do 225 for reps. Also, very important to eat in a caloric surplus to build dat *kitten*.....
As for embarrassment; just get over it. I have no shame and no embarrassment. I am a female and when the power racks are taken I will myself take up an entire bench press and do my thrusts right in the middle of the gym while the entire gym stares in awe. It's not embarrassing but badass when you hip thrust a crap ton of weight and 99 percent of guys at the gym are too ignorant to even know what a hip thrust is or what the heck you are doing. My glute aesthetics is 100x more important than what strangers are thinking of me in the gym.
So just try it once!0 -

That awkward moment when you realize that "twerking" is the way you have always danced? Yeah, that happened to me after the Miley incident.
This thread is like a car crash....omg I just can't stop.
Oh....and on a side note :laugh: I workout at home and use a folded up towel under the bar to help with cushioning. That tends to help a great deal. I actually did American deadlifts this morning for the first time and oh yes, that is another bootylicious exercise. I am loving this whole Strong Curves book so far :bigsmile:0 -

I don't consider myself delicate in any way. I may be under 100 lbs but I like to consider myself tougher than most men at my gym and I like to scare most of then men at my gym by being badass, dropping/slamming weights around and wearing no gloves.
In, because this is brilliant.
Op - dropping and slamming weights doesn't make you a badass - it makes you an idiot who can't control the weights she pick up and puts down. I doubt the looks they are giving you are because they are scared of you, more that they think you're a knob.
Oh and at my gym dropping and slamming weights around gets you kicked out.
Also I started lifting in Feb. - I'm only up to 50lbs on my squats - should I just give up since all women should be able to start at 70lbs :noway: Comments like that are what put women off lifting in the first place, but then maybe that's your point - less women, less competition, all eyes on you.
I never said people should start squats at 50 lbs... HIP THRUSTS are EASIER than squats and most people will be able to hip thrust at least 2x what they squat if they keep at it... Just like most people can deadlift way more than they squat. Did I say people should start at 50 lbs for everything? If you are going to quote me do it right.
Oh and I don't go to Planet Fitness. We can slam all the weights we like. I don't do it cause I can't control the weight. I do it on purpose when some guy at the gym is staring at me or offending me in some way. It's scares the living daylights out of them and they don't dare to look at me anymore. I am talking about a weird guy that stares excessively; not randomly looking etc but staring EVERY time he sees me for 20 seconds straight... He will stop walking wherever he is going and stand still and stare. I drop that weight and glare at him and he gets the point now.
Hmmmm thought you said people that couldn't squat 70 but I'm not re-reading 20 pages to find it.
I don't go to planet fitness so not sure why you brought that up :huh:
I still think its a bad idea to tell anyone to start with a specific weight, the bar or even body weight is the best advice always. Tell people they should be able to do something is setting them up for injury since you know nothing about all the people who read this thread.
And I still don't think they look away because they're scared of you, more that they think you're an idiot for slamming the weights. Even if you can control the weights, it makes it look like you can't. Interestingly that guy staring might be impressed at the weight you lift and how you control them , and you slamming them just makes him think he was right and the weights are too heavy for you.
I have time to go through 20 pages. Here are the quotes related to starting weights for hip thrusts:
Jstarz002 (in OP):Start with body weight and then just 95lbs on the barbell working up to 225lbs... Eventually you will want to be able to do 225 for reps. Also, very important to eat in a caloric surplus to build dat *kitten*.....
Adrianbry said:oh yeah and another thing.
Make sure you use heavy weights (like in a compound movement) and use weights that keep you in the 6-12 rep range.
that means most women should probably start with 70+ pounds and men maybe 100+
That's where the whole start with 70# crap came from.
Jstarz002:Watch the vids I posted above for form in order to do it correctly. 70 lbs is light as hell. I was 90 lbs when I started doing them and I started hip thrusting 95 lbs and am now at 195 lbs. You may want to practice with no weight for a session and then 95 lbs is a good place to start to practice good form. 70 lbs is super light to start off with; good for learning form etc.
Jstarz002:70 lbs should not be heavy for a normal female. I am extremely petite (under 100 lbs and 4ft11) and started with 95 lbs...
People complaining about 70 lbs hip thrust are not used to pushing themselves and probably feel more comfortable with hip thrusting a 10 lb plate. lols
I am super small; I have rarely seen a female smaller than me and I started with 95 lbs... just the bar (45lbs) and 2 25 lb plates on each side... You need to push yourself when you work out. Majority of these people have no clue as to how to do that.
All from the first page.
Yep, 70 lbs for HIP THRUSTS....

Do you even read?
Someone's butthurt. I guess that happens when you thrust 200# whilemake sure that you are gritting your teeth and pushing balls to the wall when doing your sets. Like going into battle; give it your all like your life depends on it.
I do read just fine. The point, despite interchanging squats for hip thrusts, is that you're insisting on people (women as you said) best be hip thrusting 45# (that's the empty bar weight, correct?) from the start or they're wimps and wussies.
As someone said, your info is welcome, but your attitude sets people off.0 -

Wait, you use a towel to protect your delicate flower body from the badass bar? Dat's cray-cray!
