Bret Contreras says hip thrusts feel easier to recover from than squats

What was said

""here's why I like the hip thrust the most is because it just doesn't beat you up as much and it doesn't injure you. It doesn't beat you up. You can do it more frequently.""

Bret Contreras says he favours hip thrusts over heavy squats because he believes they cause less fatigue and fewer injuries, allowing more frequent training. He argues that as lifters get older and stronger, heavy squats and deadlifts can become harder to recover from and tougher on connective tissue.
