Why Hip Thrusts Are Better for Your Butt Than Squats
Your gluteus maximus is the largest — and most powerful — muscle in your body, and while you may think squats are enough to build your glutes, there's another move you should do instead — hip thrusts. They work many of the same muscles squats do, but the increased focus on the glutes and decreased chance of injury make it superior.
Of course, saying hip thrusts are better than squats does come with some caveats. The most important being which muscles you're looking to target. The blanket statement that hip thrusts are a more effective exercise makes it a bit too simple (research is usually a bit more complex than that). But if you're looking to work your glutes and improve your forward motion, hip thrusts are your best bet.
