Hip thrust is an exercise that mainly trains the gluteus (buttocks), but also the back of the thighs and the lower back. The hip thrust is an essential movement that also occurs in the deadlift. This movement not only improves your butt muscles, but also boosts your jumping power.

Tutorial
1
Sit on the floor in front of a weight bench and position a barbell above your pelvis.
2
Place your legs on the weight bench and lie down with your upper back on the bench. Your legs should be slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your knees should be above your feet. Your hips should be bent.
3
Push your hips upward until they are fully extended and you are in a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Tighten your buttocks firmly in the top position. Exhale as you do this and hold the position briefly.
4
Slowly and carefully lower your hips back down until you are in the starting position.
5
A repetition has thus been performed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
Tighten your abdominal muscles and keep your back straight throughout the exercise. Shift your weight mainly onto your heels. Concentrate on stretching your hips through the contraction in your butt muscles. Move your head so that your cervical spine is always in line with the rest of your spine. Avoid hyperextending your spine and hunching over. Put the foam pad on the barbell so that it doesn't press on your pelvic bones. If you don't have one, use a towel and fold it a few times. Your bottom stays in the air throughout the exercise and does not touch the floor.
