- Start practicing with a light weight bar and place it on the floor in front of you. Grab a typical weight bench and sit with your back against it (on your side).
- Now make sure your shoulders are pressed into the padded section of the bench, with the soles of your feet pressed into the floor.
- Pass the bar over your legs and sit it in your lap on your hip bones, making sure it remains straight and well balanced.
- Use your hands to stabilize the bar before pushing yourself up with your heels, contracting your glutes at all times and making sure your shins remain vertical.
- Pause at the top (when your back is horizontal to the ground) before lowering yourself a few centimeters and repeating the movement.
- If your shins move excessively back or forward during the push, it means you’re losing focus on your glutes and using your quads and hamstrings instead.
- So avoid fast reps, focus on contracting your gluteal muscles, and make sure the range of motion is fairly shallow.
- It should be more or less the same as the glute bridge mentioned above.
- Complete between 8 and 12 repetitions.
