The Truth About Hip Dip Workouts

[@xbrookieb]

Kudos to you for normalizing something that so many women struggle with. ❤️

[@nataliamirochnitchenko8152]

no struggle!!!! we're hot. end of story.

[@neyson220293]

you don't need to struggle with it. you just need to stop lifting weights and go back to traditional female workouts like dancing, yoga and roller skating. I guarantee you're gonna get a perfect waist to hip ratio and no hip dips. in fact, those workouts are so biologically adapted to female genetics, that you will probably be able to give birth while squatting on a pair of bricks like women used to do in ancient Egypt

@@neyson220293 what the hell I’ve done dancing and gymnastics since I was 7 and still have huge hip dips? misogynistic much???

[@Youresthiemma]

@@neyson220293and lastly it’s bone structure… learn some Basic anatomy.

[@neyson220293]

@@Youresthiemma Generally speaking, hip dips was not a problem on women 50 years ago and I agree a change in bone structure is what's causing the problem. however, you seem to be implying that this is a genetic problem and you were just born with such bone structure, whereas I believe this is a specific adaptation to imposed demands. in other words, generally speaking, there is something or many things that today's women are doing differently compared to women 50 years ago. I think the main problem is women are spending less time on their feet. the bone structure of the hips should widen with every step and that's why I would prescribe dancing and to be precise, dances that you can do for long periods of time and involve you moving your hips with a lot of force such as belly dance as opposed to something like ballet which requires for your hips to be more fixed. gymnastics really don't increase your step count and if anything it makes your upper body heavier, which in turn modifies your gait. you really want your hips to move side to side in a natural and feminine way while walking so that your hips widen over time. big shoulders, lats and arms are really not helping as that extra upper-body weight is forcing you to keep your hips more fixed while walking. there's a big difference between gymnastics and yoga, where the most women would do, in terms of upper body strength would be sporadic handstands. Another thing that modifies your gait is the use of trainers as opposed to heels, which have a hard surface. if you like how you look in trainers I would recommend barefoot shoes. pure posture also modifies your gait and that's a common issue in gymnasts as the sport is more anterior chain dominant. no, I'm not misogynistic; I love women but I also love aesthetics. as a man I get to judge women's aesthetics just like as a woman you get to judge men's. I don't like the appearance of women who lift weights, especially because they develop muscle groups that are not appealing like traps, quads and lats and that are not beneficial for women's biology, especially during pregnancy. I'm not politically correct, I don't really care if I'm hurting your feelings so in the name of aesthetics and improving fertility, I'm speaking my mind. lastly, I have learned a little more than the basics of anatomy, thank you very much!!!

[@michellekalt9996]

I used to attend a professional ballet school over 10 years ago and back then we all WANTED hip dips so badly! My own aesthetic is still very much influenced by that "ideal ballet body" today and I cannot wait until my dips finally appear :'D I was mindblown when I heard that people didn't like them. It's so weird to me because they do look super athletic.

My mind is blown - I had no idea that hip dips were desired in ballet! What is the reason?

Crazy how the world works I’ve always wanted rounder hips. I was doing those hip dip exercises all the time

[@Sofia-dt1if]

@@meenaksi1082 I'm not really sure whether thats the reason but i can imagine it's because a lean body is preferred in Ballett und hip dips appear more often in lean bodies

[@michellekalt9996]

@@meenaksi1082 it's a combination of reasons - ballet dancers have to be extremely lean yet muscular, so the visibility of hip bones and muscle that "make" hip dips is seen as a good thing; also, ballet favours narrow hips over wide, round ones, and hip dips are more common in the former; also, ballet positions nearly always require external rotation of the hips, and that definition of quads and glutes with the dip in between creates a beautiful line when your legs are turned out from the hip, especially in positions like the arabesque.

I was so confused when hip dips became a thing. I never even looked at them as anything but normal UNTIL videos on KZbin popped up telling me I should be bothered by them. And it worked, a little bit. I hate to admit that because on a cognitive level I know exactly what's going on. We just had to find something new to keep women insecure. The more unchangeable it is, the better. So having several people with authority in the field speaking up and make it clear that, if anything, they're something to be proud of, is really helpful.

[@genericname8727]

​@@neyson220293 I’m just going to assume this comment was satire. I know it made me laugh a bit, especially the thought of roller skating being “biologically adapted to female genetics” lol. It’s also extra funny because the comment I read before yours was someone saying all the ballet dancers when they took ballet used to strive to develop hip dips, yet then I immediately read your reply here saying otherwise. Also the idea that men biologically aren’t meant to dance, do yoga, or roller skate amuses me too lol.

[@neyson220293]

@@genericname8727 I recommend dances like belly dance where you have to constantly move your hips, therefore, making them wider as the bone structure of the hips changes over time. ballet is not the perfect kind of dance and some ballet dancers are just too skinny which ends up unveiling hip dips to some degree... that being said you can't compare ballet dancers' hip dips with let's say CrossFit athletes hip dips, which are way deeper. dancing, roller skating (figure skating particularly) and yoga help women achieve a low waist to hip ratio, which is a sign of high fertility; and that's why I said those kinds of workouts are biologically adapted to women. you are simply not gonna get a nice and low waist to hip ratio at the weight room or by using elastic bands. those kind of workouts affect negatively the bone structure of your hips I didn't mention men at all... we men don't get pregnant and there is no specific waist to hip ratio that we need to achieve. ideally, we should be big and strong and there are many ways to get there. my program is a half strongman and half bodyweight so I do dance and do yoga sometimes, and would love to roller skate as I used to but my roller skates don't fit anymore

[@ashleycam72]

@@neyson220293 I cannot believe you’re using the phrase “biologically adapted for women” when referring to yoga or belly dancing. BIOLOGICALLY, women are more prone to osteoporosis because of our smaller bone structure compared to men. If women do more intense workouts that involve lifting weights, that will increase our bone density making us STRONGER and decreasing the chance of getting/slowing down osteoporosis. Why must it be just yoga too? Are we not allowed to do both? Then there’s something else you said that’s contradictory, would lifting weights change how the pelvis is structured? NO. Nothing will change the structural shape of our bones. Getting more fit just enhances the visibility of those bones since we get leaner thus creating hip dips. Please educate yourself on weight lifting exercises and how important it is for EVERYONE and not just men. Thanks for listening to my TED talk ♥️💪🏼

[@neyson220293]

​@@ashleycam72 YES, your bone structure does change with time depending on how you work out, it's called specific adaptations to imposed demands (SAID). this is the reason basketball players are tall, arm wrestlers have long arms and Olympic weight lifters have short arms and short legs. Bone remodelling takes some time, it is not a quick process like gaining and losing fat or muscle, especially the older you are but it does happen. it is not just a coincidence that EVERY CrossFit athlete have a high waist to hip ratio and DEEP hip dips as opposed to, for example, belly dancers who have the nicer and lower waist to hip ratio you can find out there and consequently NO hip dips A low waist to hip ratio has historically been related to high fertility; this fact remains unchallenged by science, and therefore I allow myself to say that roller skating, yoga and dancing are "biologically adapted" to women as it allows them to achieve such a low waist to hip ratio I'm not aware of evidence of a high prevalence of osteoporosis in female dancers, roller skaters and yoginis/contortionists so I have no reason to recommend ladies to lift weights instead. also, you are kind of suggesting that lifting weights is the ultimate way to increase bone density, which is not even the case; it has been found that football (soccer) players have a higher bone density than weight lifters themselves www.semanticscholar.org/paper/A-Comparison-of-Bone-Mineral-Density-in-Adolescent-Bellew-Gehrig/29068f724eaad87edc7327bbf867633fa3dfc5b0 so basically the evidence suggests that bodyweight HIIT workouts are superior in that regard I am a strongman; I think I know one thing or two about lifting weights

[@reginesarai]

I seldomly follow male trainers, but I’m so happy I followed you. You and Thomas are my favorite because you’re informative and HONEST!

[@Leslygu]

This genuinely made me feel better about my hip dips, thank you 🙏

[@amandasmith4089]

I have nothing but respect for this man

[@AnnieIsaLau]

Omg thank you so much for this. I have a natural big booty that has the curve from the side, and I have always had hip dips, but before seeing all those videos, I didn't care and didn't even noticed it honestly. It's crazy how social medias can make you realize stuff. Now I was about to start looking for hip dips exercises 🤣 thank you for that super informative video 😘

[@scarletsletter4466]

You can always just pose for pictures by rotating your knees/ feet slightly inward while arching your back. That camoflauges hip dips for most of us who have fairly good glute development. The exception is folks who are very tall & thin with wide hip joints- they'll pretty much always have those dips as a feature of their anatomy

[@sukhmann6758]

Love your message. Thanks. Healthy is more important than appearance of our body. As long we are healthy and without pain we are all beautiful as we are

[@threnoidia]

So this raises the question, WHY do people claim that they lost their hipdips and post unrealistic results? Did they want to make people self conscious of their bodies, hide their BBL surgery, for attention, or a small profit? It's crazy to me still how much misinformation spreads in the fitness world!

[@Lamarlovescats99]

omg thank you so much this helped me so much you cannot imagine thank you so much i cant thank you enough

[@melwest1407]

Clicked on here to argue 🤣no need,breath of fresh air sir👍

[@pandorasbox1658]

Thank you. I’m sending this link to my teenage daughter, she’s been driving me crazy! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@AnnaBananaHe]

Thank you so much for this video- I started training a few years ago and one goal was to achieve nice glutes, as I am naturally flat back there. I trained very hard and achieved growth (looking from the sides), yet I always felt insecure, as I saw a ˋpotoatoè ( not a butterfly ) from behind . I still am not happy, yet I know that this is my body and I have to get used to not being an Instagram- model. I never saw my ˋbutterfly´ as a sign of fitness, but maybe I will try that from now on 😊

[@tayzk5929]

Many men and women just have to accept not having the ideal features, and can never have them, even though it can be hard to accept it. Especially with the whole system trying to make money from insecurities.

[@zz-ic6vy]

Please tell my how you grew your booty? I am flat too 😄

[@AnnaBananaHe]

@@zz-ic6vy actually I did many exercises wrong in the beginning- you really have to practice doing them correctly. I love glute bridges, deadlifts, lunges und also fire- hydrants + back kicks on the floor ( I cannot get them right standing, so I prefer them on the floor). Superman’s on a bench are also very nice :)

[@LovelyWeirdo17]

“It’s fun to be strong” - yes it is! My enjoyment in working out is coming from seeing everything my body can do, not what it looks like!

[@ssthielemann]

Thanks Bret! I definitely got hip dips after I started lifting heavy so I’m happy you’re out here busting this social media issue!

[@Shortybubabyyy]

Thank you. I hate my hip dips... but I'll do my best to appreciate them🥰

[@karenhikesalot]

You are the best! I will appreciate my hip dips a lot more now. Thank you, sir.

[@gonewiththekale]

Women are so hard on their beautiful bodies, I just don’t understand who the original maestro is to all of this.

[@silver6891]

53 year old woman... have always had a heart shaped bootie. 💓 my hip dips. To all the women reading this LOVE all of yourself.. respect yourself enough to take care of your body and STOP thinking the cookie cutter trend of the season is the normal. Thank you for this video..💓💓

[@samanthajoy5143]

Thank you so much for this video!! I have hip dips and always loved them as they made me feel toned and slim. I lost 80lbs and loved the appearance of my hip dips until TikTok made me self-conscious of them. Social media has normalised BBLs and butt implants to a point where natural body’s seem weird. We need more influencers like yourself, pointing out what’s normal.

[@louferguson7048]

Just bought his book Glute Lab. Super excited to have found this guy.

[@jenamcclurken]

Thanks! That made me feel beautiful and strong. I definitely have the butterfly shape. I thought I was doing something wrong since I don't have round glutes when flexing. So very thankful for your breakdown!

[@mgghn0807]

This is informative. I have hip dips. I just didn't know how to call it until I was looking for "how to develop hip muscles" exercises. Thank you for making this video.

[@em4672]

I'm a super tense person so my knees naturally lock up all the time, but if I keep some bend in my knees my hip dips are way less noticable. It's crazy how much tiny changes in stance can change your shape, but I do think hip dips will probably normalize, since it's true that they come with a particularly fit body, and that's obviously desirable for health reasons.

[@DimplesDontLie]

needed this bc they're only getting more defined as i continue . it's literally the human structure , this is important for us to know

[@miriamhernandez5236]

Thank you, for your honesty and taking the time to educate everyone!

[@preetisingh6070]

Well well well….I was looking for ways to fix my dips n I knew u were the right person to go to……thanks a lot for your content glute guru …… 😊😊😊

[@user-wn2es2ie8g]

I have hip dips and I’ve learned to love them. I’m also not trying to go for the “slim thick” look. Just thick thick. And he’s right they are less prominent. Also when I wear a dress or something real tight I wear a body shaper. Problem solved. The hip dips are actually really sexy when you’re naked. 😉

[@alphaberryxo]

I have hip dips and have a hard time maintaining weight over 125 pounds due to my diet. Thanks for promoting health facts without the feeling of inadequacy. I had curves once...along with serious health problems. Be you world, that's the most important message

[@diarakazemi97]

Thanks for the content but stay consistent plz🥲💓

[@crystinanna7829]

THANK YOU. This is fantastic and based off of actual anatomy and science. People want something that they’ve seen so much in edited photos. Something unrealistic. You can for sure grow you glutes but we can’t create something that isn’t even real. Fantastic.

[@z.a.79]

Shared this with my girls❤

[@matthewmedeiros6472]

This is something that I only heard about/discovered recently, and I'm so happy I did. I'm a male, and although a lot/basically everything I see on the subject speaks about this in women (likely because men don't often recognize or speak openly about their own bodily insecurities), I think this applies to me as well. For the longest time this was a huge point of insecurity for me and something I kept referencing to/pointing out as a sign of me being "fat". This is despite me having gotten down to (to my shock and surprise when I found out - probably some body dismorphia going on here) 9.6% body fat. There were times that I felt "alright" and other times I still felt "fat" because of this. I kept thinking that these "handles"/this part of my body was either due to fat accumulating in one area, or simply loose skin from the time I used to be obese and 230+lbs. I would always say "well from certain angles my body is fine" but from others I would hate it and be super self conscious (despite being an active powerlifter/builder and having people constantly comment on how attractive I was). So all this is to say... Thank you, and thank you for all those who have spoken about this, because I know that despite this being something that women are often bombarded with and made to feel insecure about, i too had some deep seated insecurities and worries abotu this. I now understandmy body better as well as my own mental relationship to my body.

[@clarityMarie]

Thanks for the video Bret! It is anatomy, muscle and fat ratios.

[@maililehto3636]

I did hate my dips before and even thinking fat transfer, but now I love it and really feel like it shows my large hips and emphasize feminine look🥰

[@PropheticCoachTheresa]

That's funny this is considered undesirable now. I'm 57 and was an "aerobics" instructor back in the day and that look was always considered "hot." Fashions change, that's for sure.

[@lykke7487]

It's great both men and women with the right knowledge speaking up about this and educating the rest of us. Even know that it's a topic that has been flying around on the internet for a while now, I still see all these "get rid og your hip dips"-videoes, which means they're obviously still getting views, unfortunately. I really appreciate how you convey this message though! I knew it had a lot to do with the skeletal anatomy, but the rest was news to me, so thank you!

[@patchouli1500]

Also allot of people get fat transfers to the hips/glutes so what we see online/ in the media is because of procedures like that

[@isabeldiaz9717]
