@mrkruback Read the whole study:
Key factors
-Full ROM squats, which created more eccentric stretch on the hip extensors (stretch-mediated hypertrophy) than the hip thrusts -- most people I see back squat heavy in the gym don't reach this ROM. The glutes respond very well to stretch-mediated hypertrophy, just need to go deep enough in squatting
-It was not perfectly volume-matched, and the information on total volume achieved is not given. This was likely a small difference, but still something I'd like to see.
-"Ultrasound gives only an estimated Muscle Thickness (MT) in a specific point, and previous studies have shown considerable inter- and intramuscular differences in training-induced hypertrophy [31]. Therefore, its results cannot precisely define hypertrophy of the whole muscle."
The Glute Max has multiple regions (some researchers say 2, some say 3). These regions are different in regards to action at the hip and typically have different fiber types as a result.
This study did not look to see how each movement affected each region. i.e. this study did not assess volume of the muscle entirely, just thickness at one specific point.
-And last point, we are all different and will respond differently. Try it yourself before taking this research as absolute truth.
