Tutorial: Barbell hip thrust Tutorial: Barbell hip thrust

Barbell hip thrust

Target: Glutes, hamstrings, core

Form tips:

• Tuck in your chin.
• Activate your core to prevent arching your lower back as you drive your hips up.
• Keep your feet in line with your hips, as a wider or narrower stance will change the dynamics of the lift.
• If you find it hard to balance the bar, try using a wider grip.

Modification – Barbell single-leg hip thrust:

• If you're feeling hip thrusts more on one side than the other, use the single-leg variation to level up your weaker side.
