ImpactHigh impact
The emphasis on research and fitness outcomes suggests these social discussions could influence training choices and gym routines, highlighting their potential effect on individuals' workout strategies.
Abstract in brief
Both hip thrust and back squat training lead to similar increases in gluteus muscle size (hypertrophy), and both methods transfer similarly to improving deadlift strength.
The study found that muscle growth (measured by MRI) in the gluteus muscles was comparable between the two exercises, with some slight advantages for hip thrusts, but the differences had a lot of variability.
Strength gains in the quadriceps and adductors were generally higher with squats, while hip thrusts showed better improvements in hip thrust 3RM strength; both exercises improved deadlift and push strength equally.]
First study comparing hip thrust and squat on gluteus hypertrophy and strength gains. Hip thrust and back squat training elicit similar gluteus muscle hypertrophy and transfer similarly to the deadlift.

@probussy1 oh that’s awesome, sounds good, I would not sleep on deadlifts though, they can definitely build a dumper, my straight friend stopped doing them because his ass got too big lol,
Jeff Nippard also did this amazing ass video if you want to watch

* Metaanálisis (2025): Señaló que el hip thrust es mejor si buscas aislar y maximizar el glúteo mayor.
Ambos ejercicios son igual de efectivos para el crecimiento total del glúteo.

@FackahAguerre No entiendo cómo estos dos trabajan glúteos y cuádriceps: "Aductor en maquina (cerrar las patas) Patada en polea (180 grados)"

Me parecen interesantes los resultados. Te parece bueno el estudio?
Have you been indecisive of if you should train hip thrusts or squats more for that BBL look? Well, a new study https://t.co/4oS3DkBWkT indicates that hip thrust and back squat training elicit similar gluteus muscle hypertrophy and transfer similarly to the deadlift!
