Hip Thrust
Description :
The hip thrust is a strength training exercise that primarily targets the gluteal muscles, particularly the gluteus maximus. To perform this exercise, you sit on the floor with your back against a bench, knees bent, and feet flat. You then push your hips upwards by contracting the glutes until your body forms a straight line from knees to shoulders. Hold this position briefly, then slowly return to the starting position.
Common mistakes
- Poor back alignment with the edge of the bench
- No alignment from shoulders to knees
- Uncontrolled descent
