Glutes exercise

Barbell Glute Bridge

Hip extension for glutes, with a short pause at the top. The bar lets you move the load with both arms at once.

How to do the Barbell Glute Bridge

4 steps, in the order you do them.

Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat; set up the resistance indicated.
Extend your hips while squeezing your glutes, without arching your lower back.
Slowly return to the starting position and repeat.
Repeat at a controlled pace without using momentum.

What goes wrong most often when you do the Barbell Glute Bridge, and how to fix it.

With small plates, the bar doesn't clear your legs and you force it into place.
Use big plates, or sit on the floor and roll the bar over your legs to your hip crease.
You grip the bar with your hands at different distances and it rises tilted.
Grip the bar outside your hips, at the same distance on each side, so it rises level.
You lower until your hips rest down and relax your glutes between reps.
Barely touch the floor with your glutes and rise again without losing tension.
