Barbels Primary: Glutes Secondary: Adductors, Hamstrings

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Sit down with a loaded barbell over your hips and your upper back positioned against the edge of a flat gym bench.
  • Grab the bar evenly for support and plant your feet flat on the floor with toes pointing slightly out.
  • Brace your abs, breathe in, and press your hips against the barbell.
  • Push through your heels and engage your glutes to raise the bar and your hips toward the ceiling.
  • Pause when your hips align with your upper body. Squeeze your glutes at the top and exhale.
  • Slowly lower your buttocks several inches as you breathe in. Keep your abs tense and stop when you notice that your knees begin to move back toward your hips.
  • Extend your hips again and exhale.
  • Do the required number of reps in this partial range of motion and lower your buttocks to the floor.
