    I’ll start... I love single leg, barbell deadlifts to really focus on one glute at a time. Such a killer 🔥🔥🔥n8pm6blf9hsg.png

    It's hypnotic and creepy. Which is probably why it's stayed with me.

    Yesss which is why I enjoy it. >:):D

    OP..I stick with the basics...back squats, sumo deadlifts, Bulgarian split squats, and reverse lunges, and a lot of band work after for burnouts...I do like the single RDL’s with a kettlebell

    The old hip thrusters are a killer! I also do lunges, deadlifts, Bulgarian split squats. I'm out of love with squats currently, just CBF.

    This is the one I was thinking of, but have a different visual that has stuck with me for years:

    :D:D:D Hilarious. So glad I don't go to a gym anymore and can workout in my basement lol. Hip thrusts in public seem sooooo awkward.

    They are all I ever needed to have a juicy peach.

    Lol. I'm reading that in a very deadpan tone of voice.

    I'm more partial to barbell glute bridges than hip thrusts. They just feel better to me. With HTs, I feel like I'm flinging the weight too much.

    Definitely experiment with different movements/exercises to see what works best for you.
    For myself, I prefer the hip thrust above all others. I love variety though, so I will work the glutes from all different angles or vectors and pay attention to how they feel for me... horizontal (hip thrusts, glute bridges), vertical (squats, deadlifts), lateral/rotary/combination (abductions, bandwalks, kickbacks etc)

    I am doing the strong curves program and have started doing reverse hyper-extensions (I think that's what they're called) and that is one of my new favorites lol. lots of burn going on with that one.

    I do glute bridges cause I have no room for a bench. Definitely a good burn there.
    And like they say, squat til you're hot.

    I love glute bridges! I’ve tried to do hip thrusts at the gym, but the bench just keeps sliding back and it’s all just a mess. I just can’t get my angle right with my shoulders. Boooo!
    I also love dreadlifts! I do straight legs and Romanians.
    I used to squat but my right knee started going all funny so I stick with the leg press. No squat booty for me, just deadlift booty. (Which I think makes a better booty anyway, but shhhhhh).

    Same. I never felt anything in my glutes from hip thrusting until I started really concentrating on the posterior pelvic tilt, and even then I get more from bridges. I'm only 5'2" so thrusting from a bench is awkward and that's the best set-up I can get in my gym (Puregym, no booty-builders there!!) Also I had a numb leg for 6 weeks due to a compressed nerve from hip thrusts, eventually I'll invest in a thicker/better bar pad and try them again but I'm okay without them for now.

    Foot-forward squats on the smith are my go-to tbh, I recently started single leg variations (so a lunge but back foot completely off the ground) and and I am definitely feeling those! One of my adductors is (for lack of a real medical diagnosis) "dodgy" so single leg anything without the stability of the smith is a risk. Want to marry that thing.

    A glute bridge is done with your back on the floor and the hip thrust has your upper back up against the edge of a bench. Other than that, they are the same.

    Thanks! I have tried hip thrusts a couple times, but like another poster stated, the bench slides and it is just awkward. I might just start doing glute bridges unweighted every day then slowly work up to weights.

    I'm loving this thread!

    Low bar squats, dead’s (sumo and conventional), barbell lunges, glute bridges, donkey kicks, frog bridges.
    I get the most burn from the lunge

    I did try some single-leg hip thrusts with a dumbbell on the “driving” leg...I liked the isolation.
