How to do it
The barbell hip thrust targets the glutes with a heavy load placed across the hips.
Lie on your back with a barbell placed across the crease of your hips (using a pad), with knees bent and feet flat.
Push through your heels to lift your hips until your shoulders, hips, and knees form a straight line, squeeze your glutes, then lower back down.
Hold the barbell with both hands so it does not roll, and do not arch your lower back at the top.
