What's the best exercise for the glutes? Should you squat or hip thrust? In this episode, Mark is joined by his brother Glen Carroll, to discuss the recent study on squats vs hip thrusts for glute hypertrophy. They break down the key findings in the study, discuss the considerations and limitations, and explain how you can apply it to your training and your clients.

- Overview of the participants, conditions, and limiting factors in the study

- Results of the study related to the squat, deadlift, and hip thrust in terms of lower body hypertrophy

- Measuring failure of the hip thrust compared to the squat and how this could have affected the results

- What the study revealed about regional hypertrophy (upper vs lower glute max) for squat verse hip thrust

- Key findings and practical implications that can be applied to program design
