How to: Lever Hip Thrust With Resistance Band
- Position your upper back on a bench with your shoulder blades resting on it.
- Sit down with your feet flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart.
- Loop the resistance band around your hips and secure it to the machine or anchoring point.
- Pushing through your heels, lift your hips towards the ceiling while squeezing your glutes.
- Hold the position for a second at peak contraction, then lower your hips back down.
Common Mistakes
- Arching your back excessively during the lift.
- Not engaging the glutes enough at the top of the movement.
- Using too much momentum instead of controlled movement.
Modifications
- Perform the thrust without weights for a lighter option.
- Place a cushion under your back for added comfort.
Tips
- Keep your core engaged throughout the lift.
- Ensure your back is flat on the bench or platform.
- Use a resistance band that offers enough tension without compromising your form.
