Exercise Profile

Barbell Hip Thrust Double Band Resisted Glute Activated Overview

The barbell hip thrust double band resisted glute activated workout is designed to primarily engage the glutes.

By using a barbell, this exercise places a significant load on the glute muscles, promoting strength and growth.

The double band resistance adds extra tension, further challenging the glutes and enhancing muscle activation.

While other muscles may be involved, the barbell hip thrust is specifically designed to target and activate the glutes.

Barbell Hip Thrust Double Band Resisted Glute Activated Instructions

  1. Position a barbell on the floor and sit on the ground with your back against a bench.
  2. Place a double band around your thighs, just above your knees.
  3. Roll the barbell over your legs until it is positioned directly above your hips.
  4. Grasp the barbell with an overhand grip, shoulder-width apart.
  5. Press your feet into the ground and lift your hips off the floor, extending your hips until your body forms a straight line from your knees to your shoulders.
  6. Hold the top position for a moment, squeezing your glutes.
  7. Lower your hips back down to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.

Barbell Hip Thrust Double Band Resisted Glute Activated Tips

  1. Position yourself with your upper back resting on a bench, knees bent, and feet flat on the ground, ensuring that your knees are in line with your toes. Place a barbell across your hips, gripping it firmly with both hands.
  2. Engage your core and squeeze your glutes as you lift your hips off the ground, creating a straight line from your knees to your shoulders. Keep your chin tucked and your gaze forward, maintaining a neutral spine throughout the movement.
  3. For an added challenge and increased glute activation, incorporate double band resistance. Place a resistance band around your thighs, just above your knees, and another band just below your knees. This will create constant tension, forcing your glutes to work harder throughout the exercise.
  4. As you lower your hips back down, focus on controlling the movement and maintaining tension in your glutes. Avoid letting your hips drop too low or allowing your lower back to arch excessively. Keep the tension in your glutes throughout the entire range of motion.
  5. To optimize your form and engage your glutes even more, try incorporating a pause at the top of the movement. Squeeze your glutes at the peak of the hip thrust for a few seconds before slowly lowering your hips back down. This will enhance the mind-muscle connection and help you develop stronger, more defined glutes.</
