I'm reworking my 'Lower' day in my split, and as both the squat and RDL both work the glutes, is this enough stimulus for strength & size? Or should I incorporate hip thrusts as well?

Yes.
Hip thrusts are a novel stimulus (terminal hip extension) but it is by no means necessary.Last edited by BeginnerGainz; 10-09-2022 at 09:42 PM.

If you need a lot of volume to get results then you can do more different exercises - like hip thrusters which I do sometimes. Otherwise, yes, its not a bad plan to stick with those two.

Yes. You can make a living off heavy squats and heavy RDL pulls to build a great set of wheels.

If you're looking to work the glutes then single leg hip thrusts or single leg extensionsOriginally Posted by KyeGuy
