#3 Squats vs Hip Thrust & All The Current Science On Growing Glutes

On this Episode of the N1 Experience Kassem sits down with Daniel Plotkin, the lead author of the 2023 study comparing the squat vs the hip thrust for glute hypertrophy.  Also on todays episode is Milo Wolf, who is at the forefront of the research on range of motion for hypertrophy.  Together they give a much needed breakdown of the current research on glute training and what if anything this new study changes in how they approach programming for glute growth.
