The discussions appear to influence exercise choices and understanding of muscle activation, suggesting a moderate level of impact on training approaches.
Abstract in brief
This study compared muscle activity levels in the vastus lateralis, biceps femoris, and gluteus maximus during three exercises: back squat, Romanian deadlift, and barbell hip thrust, all performed with the same load of 60 kg or at 1RM.
Results showed that the barbell hip thrust elicited higher gluteus maximus activity than the back squat and was similar to the Romanian deadlift, indicating its effectiveness in targeting hip extensor muscles; the back squat also activated knee extensor muscles more.
Overall, Romanian deadlifts are as effective as barbell hip thrusts for isolating hip muscles, while the back squat activates both hip and knee muscles simultaneously, highlighting its comprehensive muscle engagement.
New, good to get some EMG data on 1 RM's in RDL, hip thrusts and squats

Dr Elise Brown explains the technique and benefits of the Single Leg Romanian Deadlift, showcasing its importance for strengthening hip muscles and improving balance within a full-body workout.
@Toohey_sp @ThePTWizard This one was significant and Id love to follow up on it myself at some point. The closer we get to 1RM difference in glute activation diminishes.

That said, the hip thrust is still a highly effective glute exercise that trains your booty in a slightly different way to most other glute exercises (including the squat).
