How to do Barbell Glute Bridge, step by step
- 1Begin seated on the ground with a loaded barbell over your legs.
- 2Using a fat bar or having a pad on the bar can greatly reduce the discomfort caused by this exercise.
- 3Roll the bar so that it is directly above your hips, and lay down flat on the floor.
- 4Begin the movement by driving through with your heels, extending your hips vertically through the bar.
- 5Your weight should be supported by your upper back and the heels of your feet.
- 6Extend as far as possible, then reverse the motion to return to the starting position.
