HIP THRUSTS are great for the glutes because they maximize mechanical tension at full hip extension—the exact position where the gluteus maximus exerts its GREATEST leverage and force.

Why Hip Thrusts Work Peak Contraction: The highest resistance occurs at the top lockout position, forcing the glutes to fire intensely.
