I think glute development, my coach tried them with me when I was still a serious lifter.
But it didn't help my deadlift or squat.
I actually just see women do these...🤷♀️
JWestland-
Yeah, vast majority of hip thrusts are done by women at my gym too - we have a high % of female members in there so on some days it seems like everyone's doing them, not me though - my arse is big enough thank you & looks to me like the sort of motion that would elicit a giant fart of membership-cancelling proportions.
I'm back at the gym after a hiatus for most of last year - can only make it Tuesday/Thursday mornings now so started back with a general program that covered the basics in a 3x10 fashion just to keep decrepitude at bay, then started increasing the weight slightly but evertually hit a plateau...
I then went back to 5x5 & have added 10kg onto my bench in a few weeks - feels like i'm best suited to short bursts of higher intensity, will see how it progresses but will have to switch it up eventually as the Tue/Thurs routine is getting to be unsustainable using the same weights both days.

It seems to be a female thing. FB had loads of vids a while ago. I think I’ll avoid for the time being😁
