How to Do Glute Bridge
gluteshamstringscore
beginnerBodyweightcompound
Form Cues
- 1
Feet flat on floor hip width, drive hips up to full extension
- 2
Squeeze glutes hard at top
- 3
Keep your chin tucked and gaze forward rather than looking up at the top
- 4
Lower under control back to the floor rather than dropping
Common Mistakes
- ●
Not fully extending the hip — the glutes are fully activated only at complete hip extension
- ●
Hyperextending the lower back at the top instead of stopping at full, neutral hip extension
- ●
Placing feet too far from the hips, reducing glute drive and shifting load to the hamstrings
Equipment Variations
- ▸
Barbell hip thrust as loaded progression
- ▸
Single leg glute bridge for unilateral challenge
