My gym doesnt have bumper plates, only hex, so doing hip thrusts are really awkward and nearly impossible. Ive seen multiple videos of girls using the leg extension machine as a hip thrust replacement but idk i swore i would never use a machine totally incorrectly like that - would you guys do it? Have you ever? Did you get weird looks ?

Here are some that I do in addition to hip thrusts and glute bridges:
Box squat
Reverse lunges
Sumo deadlifts
Romanian deadlifts
Kettle bell swings
Single leg kettle bell hip thrusts (actually you can do these with dumbbells too so maybe give these a try as hip thrust variation)
Pull throughs
Bulgarian split squats
Hammie curls
Single leg hyperextensions

I actually prefer to do Hip Thrusts in the Leg Extension because I can prioritize focusing on the contraction of the glutes instead of worrying about stabilizing a barbell on my hips. It is also more comfortable on the hips than the barbell variations due to the thick pad. So it's a win in my books.
