Resistance Band Hip Thrusts

The bench hip thrust with a loop band above the knees; the knees push out against it as the hips rise.

How to do it

Setup

Upper back on a bench, a loop band above the knees, feet hip-width.

Steps

Press the knees out into the band.
Drive the hips up to a straight line.
Lower with the knees still pushed out.

Common mistakes

Knees caving at the top: keep pushing them out. Band rolling to the knee joint: set it higher on the thighs. Arching to finish: ribs down, glutes lock it.

Breathing

Exhale driving up, inhale lowering.
