Exercise Description

The barbell glute bridge builds stronger glutes and hamstrings. It shapes your butt, fixes lower back pain, and makes you more powerful for sports.

How To

1. Lie on your back with knees bent, feet flat on floor. Position barbell over your hips. 2. Squeeze your glutes and drive your hips up, lifting the barbell glute bridge weight toward the ceiling. 3. Hold at the top for 2 seconds. Your body should form a straight line from knees to shoulders. 4. Lower the barbell glute bridge slowly back to starting position with control. 5. Repeat for desired reps, keeping your core tight throughout the movement.

Form Tips

• Keep your feet flat and drive through your heels during the barbell glute bridge movement. • Don't arch your lower back at the top - focus on squeezing your glutes hard instead. • Place a pad or towel under the barbell to avoid discomfort on your hip bones. • Keep your chin tucked and don't push your head into the ground during barbell glute bridge reps.

Common Mistakes

• Lifting too fast without controlling the barbell glute bridge movement properly. • Pushing through your toes instead of your heels, which reduces glute activation. • Arching your back too much at the top instead of focusing on proper barbell glute bridge form.
