Hip extension with a barbell while your shoulder blades rest on a bench. One of the most effective glute exercises because the load peaks where the glutes are fully contracted.
How to do it
- 1Sit on the floor with your shoulder blades on the bench edge and the bar across your hip crease.
- 2Place your feet shoulder width apart so the shins are vertical at the top.
- 3Raise your hips until shoulders, hips and knees form a straight line.
- 4Squeeze the glutes for a second at the top.
- 5Lower the hips under control.
