Barbell hip thrusts

[Jason Donaldson]

The only thing I could say (in their terms and rationale) that is 'good' about the hip thrust, is the way the knee is severally bent, will take a lot of the hamstrings out of the movement, and require to the glutes to be the absolute prime mover.

That's it right there - because the point is to isolate the glutes in order to train them for their aesthetic role, not their physiological ones.

One of the bumbest excersises I´ve ever seen in the gym.
