intermediateBodyweightcompound

Form Cues

  1. 1

    One foot flat on floor, other leg extended

  2. 2

    Drive through the planted heel to full hip extension

  3. 3

    Keep the extended leg roughly in line with your torso, not dropping toward the floor

  4. 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
