Exercise Description

Hip thrusts build your glutes and make them stronger. They help you run faster, jump higher, and look better from behind.

How To

1. Sit with your back against a bench, feet flat on floor, knees bent 90 degrees 2. Roll the barbell over your hips and grip it with both hands for control 3. Drive through your heels and squeeze your glutes to lift your hips up high 4. Push your hips toward the ceiling until your body forms a straight line from knees to shoulders 5. Lower your hips back down slowly and repeat the hip thrusts movement

Form Tips

• Keep your chin tucked and look straight ahead during hip thrusts • Squeeze your glutes hard at the top of each rep • Don't let your knees cave inward - keep them tracking over your toes • Pause for one second at the top to really feel your glutes working during hip thrusts

Common Mistakes

• Arching your back too much instead of using your glutes during hip thrusts • Not going high enough - your hips should be fully extended at the top • Using your lower back instead of your glutes to power the hip thrusts movement
