Smith Machine B-Stance Hip Thrust

Glutes Machine

Description

The Smith machine b-stance hip thrust is a variation of the hip thrust exercise that focuses on unilateral strength and stability. With one foot planted firmly on the ground and the other foot positioned slightly behind and to the side, individuals lie on the ground with their shoulder blades against a bench and a barbell positioned across the hips. They then thrust the hips upward, squeezing the glutes at the top of the movement. This exercise helps to address muscle imbalances, improve hip stability, and enhance overall lower body strength and function.

How To

01 Set your upper back against the bench with the bar loaded across your hips
02 Plant your lead foot flat, staggering the other foot behind for balance
03 Drive through the heel of your front foot to lift your hips
04 Squeeze your glutes hard at the top, body in a straight line
05 Lower with control, finish your reps, then switch legs
