The hip thrust is a newer barbell lift than the squat or deadlift, so its standards are less established, but it can be read the same way: a loaded hip thrust against bodyweight and sex places the number in a distribution. Because the movement isolates the glutes with strong leverage, the weights run high relative to other lifts.
A strong lever, high numbers
The barbell hip thrust puts the glutes in a mechanically strong position, so the loads people use are high, often exceeding their squat once they are practised. A hip thrust standard read against bodyweight gives a rough band, but the numbers should not be compared directly with a squat or deadlift, which use the muscles through a longer range.
Reading your hip thrust
Use a full-range thrust to a locked-out, level bridge with the bar across the hips, and read your best against your bodyweight. Range and lockout matter: a shortened thrust read against a full-range expectation flatters the number, the same discipline every barbell standard on this site applies.
Why the standards are looser
Because the hip thrust is a relatively new competition and gym lift, the population data behind its standards is thinner than for the squat or bench, so the bands are rougher. Use it mainly to track your own progress and to set a sensible expectation, rather than as a precise percentile.
Questions people ask about hip thrust standards
How much should I hip thrust?
Read a full-range barbell hip thrust against your bodyweight; the numbers run high because the movement isolates the glutes with strong leverage, often exceeding a person's squat.
Why is my hip thrust heavier than my squat?
The hip thrust puts the glutes in a mechanically strong position over a short range, so higher loads are normal and the two lifts should not be compared directly.
Are hip thrust standards reliable?
They are rougher than squat or bench standards because the lift is newer and the population data is thinner, so use them to track your own progress rather than as a precise percentile.
