LETS TALK HIP THRUSTS

Time by time I want to go back to basics and show you how to correctly do exercises or workouts I am sharing. Just to make sure I am not leading you guys to an injury. SAFETY in the first place!

One of my most favorite glute and overall `back side` building exercise is HIP THRUSTS. I know people who hate these, I used to hate them until I got used to them and now I am actually excited to add these in my leg workout as I know massive gains come afterwards. GAINS!

Do you know how to correctly perform these? I`ll explain.

• Grab a bar, bench and preferably a barbell pad if available or you can put the gym mat around the bar as well for your own comfort as the bar leaves bruises afterwards 💁
• Of course, it`s always a good idea to warm up and start with a low weight and build yourself up with every set.
• So to perform hip thrusts correctly you place your shoulder blades on the bench and have your legs shoulder width apart and bent at 90 degrees, bar goes on your hips.
• With going down you use your whole body not just glutes - stretch, and coming back up - power, pushing with glutes and hamstrings. Always keep your back strong, an if the weight is hurting your lower back, drop the weight lower. 

If this explanation does not make sense, have a look at the video 😅 (at least I tried):

So, how about now? 😁 

I added few of my stats, what I use and how I do hip thrusts myself when exercising, but I am not encouraging you to start with a heavy weight, remember safety.

I can honestly say that these have helped me greatly at building my booty and right now I am reaching for a new PB. 🍑

At the point of 10% body fat and still bootylishous 😅
