Hip thrusts anyone?

Cues: -back support under shoulder blades -bar stays over pelvis/hip bones -shins should be vertical at the lock out, knee will form a 90 degree angle -pelvis does not move independently! You thrust using ur entire torso, think about the body opening & closing like a book -chin stays down with gaze on the bar/legs the entire time (forgot to mention this in the video). Typically during a lift we want a neutral spine with chin OFF the chest but not with the hip thrust

Lady behind me in the beginning of the video is the final boss of hip thrusts btw

That mini fridge of a woman in the black is my sturdy girl goals. 😍

lol! She’s a trainer at the gym and she is STACKED & about 5 feet tall.

I need her picture on my mirror so I can look at it every day as a reminder that I simply must get bigger.

Great video. Using the tampon pad is a must ! I do them on the Smith once a week. Then on the glute drive machine twice a week. As soon as I started eating enough carbs my ass finally started to grow.

This is the way!! Eat, hit the glutes multiple times a week 👏🏼

I was only able to hit my glutes once a week when I first started. Now 3 times had to work up to it for sure. The ass can definitely take this kind of abuse!

It’s a big muscle !

Biggest in our bodies! So men can joke all they want about women being obsessed with working booty. They should be too..... Back is my obsession but the bootie is never neglected.

🍑 yes!

Nice! Keep these coming, you can never see too many tips and tricks imo.

Yay! Ty I’m glad u find it helpful!!

This is very helpful 🙏

I’m following after recommendation from @doctorcalf

The 34 bookmarks are so people can work on their form.... Right? 😂

Is there any advantage of doing this over glute kickback?

Yes glute kick backs kinda suck they’re like a C or D tier glute exercise imo. Other than that, this is more glute max & can be loaded much much heavier than cable kickback

Strong work. Those hip thrusts are no joke.

I always get massive headaches from doing these what am I doing wrong?

Exercise itself shouldn’t engage anything that would cause headaches. Make sure to keep chin down on the chest with ur gaze down at the bar (which is counterintuitive). But maybe ur clenching or doing something without noticing that is causing headaches?
