Why it matters for golf
Hip thrusts load hip extension harder than a floor bridge, building the glute strength that powers the lower body through the ball. Strong hips also spare the low back from doing work it should not do.
Coaching cues
- Upper back on the bench, chin tucked.
- Drive through the heels.
- Lock out with the glutes, hips level.
- Control the way down.
Common faults
- Overarching the back at the top.
- Cutting range and never reaching full extension.
