How To

1. Sit with your upper back against a bench, barbell across your hips 2. Plant your feet flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart 3. Drive through your heels and thrust your hips up, squeezing your glutes hard 4. Hold the hip thrust position for one second at the top 5. Lower your hips back down with control and repeat the hip thrust movement

Form Tips

• Keep your chin tucked and eyes looking forward during the hip thrust • Squeeze your glutes hard at the top of each rep • Your shins should stay vertical throughout the hip thrust movement • Don't let your knees cave inward

Common Mistakes

• Arching your back too much instead of using your glutes • Not going through the full range of motion on each hip thrust rep • Placing your feet too close or too far from the bench
