Glute Power

WHAT IS IT

The Hip Thrust drives the hips up from a bench with the shoulders supported. It isolates the glutes like few other lifts — the engine behind the sled push and every lunge.

HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY

  1. 1Sit with your upper back against a bench, load across the hips if prescribed.
  2. 2Plant the feet flat, about hip-width, knees bent.
  3. 3Drive through the heels and lift the hips until the body is straight from shoulders to knees.
  4. 4Squeeze the glutes hard at the top without arching the lower back.
  5. 5Lower the hips under control and repeat.
