intermediateBodyweightcompound
Form Cues
- 1
One foot flat on floor, other leg extended
- 2
Drive through the planted heel to full hip extension
- 3
Keep the extended leg roughly in line with your torso, not dropping toward the floor
- 4
Squeeze the glute of the working leg hard at the top
Common Mistakes
- ●
Hips rotating during the bridge — keep hips level and square throughout the movement
- ●
Not fully extending the hip at the top — a partial range reduces glute activation significantly
- ●
Overarching the lower back to reach higher — stop at full, neutral hip extension
Equipment Variations
- ▸
Glute bridge as regression
- ▸
Barbell single leg hip thrust as loaded progression
