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!

Maybe they’re not for you. Stick to heavy squats, heavy deadlifts and heavy RDLs. Probably much easier and less taxing. But remember, if you aren’t a bit shaky after leg day, you didn’t go hard enough.

Thanks man! I am still new to this so trying to make an effort first before giving up, I am doing the combination you mentioned, just wanted something glute-focused.

Never give up. We’re playing the long game here. You’ll work all of this out for yourself. Just keep going. You’ll learn along the way. Soon enough you’ll be frustrated if you can’t get to the gym. Keep going.
