Main Muscles: Hamstrings, Gluteus Maximus, Latissimus Dorsi
Key Points: – Keep your back straight, ass out and chest high – The band should be under the arches of your feet – Drive your feet through the floor and thrust your hips forward when exploding upwards – Use a slow, controlled movement on the descent – Use full range of motion
Key Points: – Rest the bar across your pelvis – Keep the back of your shoulders on the floor – Extend the nonworking leg out and keep it off of the floor – Drive your heel through the floor and push your hips as high as possible
A variation of the traditional Hip Thrusters with a barbell, Cable Hip Thrusters keep the gluteus muscles under tension during the entire movement. Some people have a tendency to pull with the arms, but in order to perform properly, your arms should remain stiff while your hips thrust through your forearms.
