Barbell Hip Thrusts target the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back while also engaging the core for stability. Sit on the ground with your upper back against a bench, roll a barbell over your hips, and press through your heels to lift your hips toward the ceiling. Pause at the top to squeeze the glutes, then lower slowly. This exercise builds glute strength, enhances posterior chain performance, and improves overall hip power. Gymcheq emphasizes controlled movement and proper alignment for maximum activation and safety.
