I have a hard time getting the right hip thrust when I deadlift (prob when I squat too). Anyway, I've been trying different exercises, and I happened upon kneeling squats. Those felt like just the move I needed.
Kneeling squats good for hip thrust?

Whatz a Dimel??
What is a Dimel Deadlift?
"This exercise helped Matt Dimel increase his squat from the mid 800’s to over 1000 pounds in a two year period. To perform this exercise grab a barbell with an over hand grip about shoulder width apart. Pull the bar up to a standing position. At this point arch your back and get you abs tight. Keep the back as arched as possible, push the glutes out, and keep the knees slightly bent. Lower the bar by push your body weight back unto your heals while pushing your glutes out. Try to lower the barbell to a position just past the knees. At this point you should feel a tremendous stretch in the glutes and hamstrings. Raise by contracting your glutes first, at the top of the movement contract the glute as hard as possible. Perform the exercise in a ballistic fashion. You want to drop to the midpoint position and explode back to the starting position."

Re: What is a Dimel Deadlift?
am I reading this right? It sounds essentially like an explosive Romanian Deadlift. what kind of loading, sets, reps do you guys do on this excercise?
