Of all the hip thrust machines, this one is the most intuitive, easy to use, and effective. All you have to do is put the airplane-like seat belt on, disengage that handles, and thrust to your hips content. Glute training not only accentuates the round look of the butt, which is important, but it also creates a powerful athlete for running, jumping, squatting, and deadlifting. Zydrunas Savickas, the greatest strongman of all time, utilized heavy hip thrusts to build his awe-inspiring strength. This is truly an all encompassing exercise that is performed for both aesthetics and function. It’s a testament to the importance of the glutes.
