Barbell Hip Thrust
The barbell hip thrust is a hip thrust for the glutes, done with a barbell. It also works the hamstrings. On weyt.ai it counts toward Balance as Glutes (minimum 10 sets per 30 days) and toward your 12-week strength trend as a barbell lift, one of the compounds the coach reads first.

How weyt.ai scores it
- Balance: every logged set counts toward the Glutes group, which needs at least 10 sets per 30 days for full credit.
- Strength: counts as a lift. Your best working set each session feeds a best lift estimate (an estimated one-rep max) per lift, read over 12 weeks on the Strength screen; as a barbell lift it is one of the compounds the coach reads first.
- Routine: any session that includes it counts toward your weekly target, the 4-week consistency window and your streak.
Scoring is plain arithmetic, not AI: the same sets always give the same result. Read the method on the about page. This lift also has published strength standards, so it can set your Weyt Age and your standing against lifters your age.
