DeFrancosGym.com - Exercise Index: Supine Hip Thrust (feet & shoulders elevated)

[FredBR999]

Did he call the barbell the day after?

i want to try this excersise..... on my girlfriend

[erisiantaoist]

There's a chi-gung exercise that's kinda like that, but standing up, and fairly plyometric. It starts with your arms raised straight overhead, and you bring them down rapidly as you thrust your hips forward. The name translates to something like "priming the pump."

Any idea how that would compare to this one?

[simonwitney7]

can't wait to try this exercise

[one1armedscissor]

take your shoes off next time, asshole

[tyciol]

Awesome hip extension bra

[Sick3ninVend3tta]

How can that guy increase the resistance???... You can't really place a hefty barbell across your pelvis area when your hoisted up in the air like that (you can, but I would have thought it too be quite dangerous IMHO).

[tyciol]

@Sick3ninVend3tta Actually, people pad barbells and do this, Bret Contreras lifts nearly 500lbs that way.

However, it is on the ground using a more limited RoM, not elevated. You would have to limit the weight while elevated, that is true.

[simpsonbball10]

@Sick3ninVend3tta I would put a band around your waist and somehow hook it to some weight or something stable on the ground...

[SFO14]

@Sick3ninVend3tta just the barbell wouldn't be that dangerous, 45 pounds and it would add some resistance, or just hold a plate

[keevan00]

Is this movement specifically for strength or does it help with mobility and flexibility?

[Zabbai]

Not difficult at all. Maybe I was doing it wrong.

[thabest1995]

I felt the same way.

[supramental]

You increase the difficulty by using a stability ball under your feet.

[tyciol]

@supramental Or using 1 foot :)

[CoolRaul28]

these look awesome and I can do them in my gym/cargo box

[VoteAwards]

I bet that guy is great in bed!

[nathan29ify]

@VoteAwards now that's funny lmao!!!! no disrespect to the exercise

[kluahc]

Hamstrings, Glutes, Quads, Lower back. Wicked man. Its like the bridge, In Yoga.

[nvcn86]

recently there was an article on t-nation about stuff like that. add a barbell and some weight, gets even better.

[samurai69]

just tried that......yeh i like that

[mvflyhalf]

Hey Joe I love your videos. Do you ever utilize barbell hip thrusts as an exercise? If so could you upload a video demonstrating how to do them? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[notkrisroe]

What would be the difference between this movement and say a lying glute bridge which loads the weight from the heel. I see here the heels aren't loaded, is this anything to think about or not a problem?

[vongSTAA]

There would be more "weight" in this variation because your feet/heels aren't really supporting your body as much as a lying supine bridge.

The elevation is what makes this exercise harder, much like elevated push-ups, planks, inverted rows, bench dips, etc.

[whatupdun]

This allows a greater ROM than the lying version (notice the position of his ass relative to his feet at the bottom and compare that to how they're at the same height in the bottom of a lying bridge)

[HotRod6]

on lying glute bridge you only use your glutes and some quads. on this exercise you also use your hamstrings to elevate up to bench level. i don't think there would be a difference b/w heels on or off the bench
