Hip Thrust
Muscles: Glutes, Hamstrings
Form tips
- Upper back on the bench, bar over the hip crease
- Feet flat, shins vertical at the top
- Tuck the chin and drive the hips up
- Squeeze the glutes for a second at the top
Common mistakes
- Arching the lower back instead of extending the hips
- Feet too far forward or too close, so the hamstrings take over
