Step-by-Step Guide

  1. 1

    Setup

    Sit on the ground with your upper back against a bench. Place a barbell or dumbbell across your hips (use a pad for comfort).

  2. 2

    Position

    Plant your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. Your knees should be bent at about 90 degrees.

  3. 3

    Starting Position

    Your shoulders should be on the bench, and your body should form a straight line from knees to shoulders.

  4. 4

    Thrust

    Drive through your heels and squeeze your glutes to lift your hips. Push your hips up until your body forms a straight line from knees to shoulders.

  5. 5

    Squeeze

    At the top, squeeze your glutes hard and hold for 1-2 seconds. Your thighs should be parallel to the floor.

  6. 6

    Lower

    Control the weight back down, but don't let your glutes fully rest on the ground between reps.
