Hip Thrust

A popular choice among elite performance coaches for developing maximal force in hip extension. This exercise safely isolates and overloads the glutes, which act as your primary engine for horizontal force production, top speed, and a powerful running stride.

• Brace your core, keep your ribs down, and avoid arching your lower back.
• Drive powerfully through your heels to bridge your hips up.
• Pause briefly at the top with maximum tension in your glutes.
