Smith Machine Hip Thrust

Glutes Machine

Description

The Smith machine hip thrust is a variation of the hip thrust exercise performed using a Smith machine, which provides stability and support during the movement. With the barbell positioned across the hips, individuals lie on the ground with their shoulder blades against a bench and feet planted firmly on the ground. They then thrust the hips upward, squeezing the glutes at the top of the movement. This exercise effectively targets the glute muscles and helps to improve hip strength and stability when performed with proper form and control.

How To

01 Set your upper back against the bench, bar positioned across your hips
02 Plant your feet hip-width apart, knees bent to 90 degrees
03 Drive through your heels and thrust your hips skyward
04 Squeeze your glutes hard at the top, body in a straight line
05 Lower back down with control and repeat
