Barbell Glute Bridge
The floor bridge with a bar across the hips; use a pad, the bar sits on bone.
How to do it
Setup
On the floor, padded bar over the hips, knees bent, feet planted.
Steps
- Drive the hips to full extension.
- Squeeze at the top, ribs down.
- Lower with control, bar steadied.
Common mistakes
No pad: the bar sits ON bone; pad always. Rolling the bar into place with plates too small: use the plates that clear the legs. Arch finishing the rep: glutes do.
Breathing
Exhale driving, inhale lowering.
