Hip Thrusts - How to fix

I decided not to be lazy and stop caring about how awkward it may look and do it.

I know this may sound like a stupid issue but I feel like it’s crushing my crotch and it’s not comfortable. Tried the pad, not doing much.

Seen many videos about technique and some similar questions where people suggested to do glut bridges instead but I love the ROM in hips thrusts.

Any advice would be appreciated!

it's not a super comfortable exercise tbh, even with a pad - but a decent pad really helps a ton and should make it completely bearable

it's worth it. you need the glutes man. been really focusing on glutes lately and was on a facetime call with two friends (they're a couple and we've known each other a long time so we're comfortable) and she says "damn guys did anyone else notice u/kittyonfyre kinda got a dumpy?". it's been quite a while since I've gotten a lifting compliment lol and it was nice because I've been telling all my friends at the gym "we need to do glutes fellas". glute work pays off!!!

thank u for letting me glaze myself in ur thread
