I laugh my tits off every time I see someone do them, like. When did they become a common thing? They seem to have come out of nowhere. Same with facepulls, t-bar rows using a barbel jammed in the corner and a short range of motion, and trap bar deadlifts. I don’t remember anyone doing these 15 years a go. Now they’re everywhere.
Hip thrusts are from girls with flat booties copying girls with great big T&A and a GymShark sponsorship on Instagram.
Face pulls are from Athlean X.
Trap bars are from ill advised PTs.
I don't know where t bar rows came from, so I assume some kind of bro stuff site.
...I hate that my brain knows all this useless information from the most useless corners of the internet. But anyways, you asked, so my useless knowledge is now yours.
Thanks! I think I already knew, or should have known, with how much shite I watch and read. That athlean guy looks starved, young lads must see something different to me to want to look like that.
The trap bar thing seems to be a case of well we built it so we have to use it.
I know T-bar rows are a classic. I think Schwarzenegger was doing them in pumping iron, possibly to orgasm, but don’t know what has brought about their reprisals. They can be loaded with lots of the 45s and any skinny shit can get them moving 6 inches up and down with a bit of knee and hip and convince themselves they just “did lats”.
Back when I was really fucking dumb, joe rogan talked me into thinking hip thrusts were GREAT for jiu jitsu. Now I don’t listen to joe anymore.
In defense of the hip thruster, all I have to say is I don’t mind the ladies working on that ass more. But yes, squats do it better.
Ronnie Coleman used to do a ton of t-bar rows using a barbell jammed in the corner and a short range of motion.
I know because I watched him do them all the time at Metroflex in Arlington back in 2004-2005.
I didn't laugh my tits off at Ronnie because he was very strong and had lots of hypertrophy. And, well, because he was a really cool guy.
Great documentary on him about all of his problems he's having nowadays, if anyone is interested...
