Hip Dips

Hip dips, also known as the noticeable dip on the side of the buttocks when the muscles are contracted, are primarily influenced by skeletal anatomy and genetics. Danny Matranga explains that the structure of the pelvis and how muscles attach and sit on the skeleton can vary significantly among individuals, especially women. This variation affects mechanics and can influence the selection of exercises. According to Matranga, hip dips are largely genetic and not something that can readily be altered through exercise 1.
