What is your favorite exercise for building the glutes? Squats or hip thrusts?

Dr. @bretcontreras1 showed that hip thrusts (glute bridges, glute thrusts) activate the glutes MORE than squats. This is in both the upper and lower glutes. He also found that squats activate the quads more than the glutes. Therefore, if you want to grow the glutes, I would recommend doing hip thrusts over squats!

Dimmel deadlifts!...keep your knees slightly bent, back flat and be sure to stick your glutes back as far as possible on the descent and squeeze hard on the ascent...keep constant tension for reps between 10-20...your glutes should cramp the first time doing these......rr
