Barbell Hip Thrust

Equipment · Barbell / Bench
Setup

Shoulder blades on the bench edge, bar over the hips, feet placed so the shins are vertical at lockout.

Coaching cue

Ribs down, chin tucked. Full lockout, two-second squeeze at the top.

Most common mistake

Overextending the lower back at lockout to fake extra range. The rep finishes when the hips are level, not when the spine arches.
