Considering I'm a male, I get some weird looks from some of the meatheads in my gym, because exercises like this have the stigma of being specifically for females and getting an aesthetically better-LOOKING butt. The joke will be on them when they can barely walk at the age of 50. Glute exercises have done wonders for my low back pain, more so than any type of back exercise. At first I was a little self-conscious, but considering I'm recovering from a work injury, chronic lyme disease, and widespread muscle loss. I quickly decided not to care what other gym rats might think lol.

The only observation is that, although her form doesn't seem totally wrong, her rib cage seems to be flaring up. I think I recall Bret mentioning that you need to keep the rib cage down as you lower the weight. In fact, if you look at the specific example in video from Bret contreras ribcage seems to follow a perfect line with his lower body. It's just an observation, that I would appreciate some feedback given I'm no expert in the matter. :)

In the gym that I'm attending there's a hip thruster machine, do you recommend using it or it's better to do the exercises with a bar like you demonstrate in your video? I'm asking because like 99% of the women in the gym do not use the machine an do the exercises as you show in your video, almost no men do this exercise and it seems to me that I'm the only one that I'm aware of, that has ever used this hip thruster machine.

Could you touch on the American hipthrust? With the American hipthrust you put your back higher up on the bench. I saw this on one of Bret Contreras videos but havent heard any one else touch on it. I can generally do more weight with that position, I feel like the girl doing 500 lbs was doing the American hipthrust because her back seemed much higher up on the bench, which would explain the crazy weight

Wow, I have literally never seen the technique broken down so precisely and so detailed but I do these things naturally. I sometimes wonder 'Should I do it like this' but going by feel and making sure you are lifting with your muscles and keeping your body tight while doing the reps guides you to the proper form. The only thing I have seen is to always rotate the whole body and not the hips only.

For those who are finding their quads take over, one of the best ways is to raise the feet. Contreras talks about this, the higher your feet are in relation to your hips, the harder it is for the quads to work, so setting a bench up opposite and placing your feet on that can help isolate your glutes whilst keeping the hamstrings in contraction to prevent the knees extending.

I just watched Bret Contreras's video, and he says to avoid shoes with lifted heels at the back, even common weightlifting shoes, as it eliminates heel drive and places too much pressure on the toes (and less activation in the glutes. Your girl's shoes look pretty high at t he heel, so it seems like it's going against his advice. What do you think of this, Jeff?

Jeff: you skipped explaining the hardest part of the set up; actually getting the loaded bar onto your hips while your back is on the bench. im sure we can all figure out how to put the pad in the middle and put plates on the bar lol. why did you skip the only difficult part of the set up (main reason I was looking forward to this video)
