Literally awful advice.

Care to tell me why?

From a DPT who is involved with rehabbing people, bridges are by far one of the greatest things you can do.

It’s a lot harder for people to properly do a reverse hyper than it is for a bridge. I’m not sure what rehab you’re talking about but the general public, you now throw in weak core/bad backs/etc and reverse hypers can do more harm than good.

A bridge is almost impossible to fuck up unless you’re overloading too early. You can progress it so easily. Two legs stabilized, not stabilized, weighted, into one legged, into unstable surface, etc. You can essentially do anything you want with a bridge. Hold time at top, increase eccentric, and so much more.

Reverse hyper is much harder to progress and usually involves recruitment of surrounding musculature due to lack of muscle control.

Not sure what you meant with band work but that could potentially be a great method for rehab depending on load/setup/exercise/etc. You can’t really go wrong with bands.

Here's your problem. You think a bridge is = a barbell hip thrust. I have nothing against glute bridges. I do them. I do them for unilateral work and think they're great. I do them in addition to the McGill 3 for prehab and general warmup work.
What I don't do - and what the thread asked is if I do 'barbell hip thrusts'.

A barbell hip thrust is a progression of a bridge.

The same way a bench press is a progression of a pushup? The addition of a barbell fundamentally changes the movement and load.

im good on doing any excercies ive only seen chicks do (this one being even worse than hip abductors), especially ones that involve literal humping in public gyms at least

if you're working out at home, knock yourself out

I feel a hip thrust is VERY different than a glute bridge....

Started doing them in the last 6 months. I enjoy them but fkn hurts with any more than 100kg on.

Looking to build up dat ass

just cant wait for gyms to open in UK atm...fucking draining
