good exercise for the butt

[longpenisitis]

she's working her butt off ;)

[Kitty8Tim]

@longpenisitis I'm working my butt ON ;-)

[longpenisitis]

@Kitty8Tim ahhhhh :')

[maribeltst]

Is this safe?

[Kitty8Tim]

@maribeltst Is anything? Like most exercises, it helps to know what you're doing! For me, it is safe, because I have built it up from bodyweight to weighted. For anyone else, there is a progression tutorial on my blog that will help you learn the basics. Just as I would ensure someone can do a BW squat before placing a bar on their back, I will do the same for glute bridges.

[tigerboyX]

This look like it could hurt your back

[longpenisitis]

....barbell pad....got it...

[longpenisitis]

hey please tell me the name of that cushion you use on the barbell during this.....i need one but i can't find it unless i have the name of it....

[HappyEmo89]

@longpenisitis Pussypad :)

[sugmegpls]

Why isnt she in the kitchen?

[BareFisted]

Great job Kitty, how would doing the hip bridge with one leg only feel like? Just asking.

[Kitty8Tim]

@BareFisted Hey, the single leg variations are more advanced than this variation and the weighted single-leg hip thrust is the most advanced. I haven't done the weighted single leg yet, but the body weight one is hard enough. You need to get good at the double leg body weight AND the double leg weighted glute bridges AND Hip Thrusts first. On my site I have an video and article on the progressions. If you look for "The Glute Journey" Glute Bridge to Hip Thrust Progressions Tutorial" :-)

[BareFisted]

@Kitty8Tim

Thank you Marianne, by the way great website, looking forward to your videos.

Take care

Hi Marianne, when you do this session at the gym do you do only one set of these glute bridges, as shown in this video, or do you do more than one set of glute bridges? Cheers :)

[Kitty8Tim]

@fishing691 Bianca, I do multiple sets, as shown in this video. It looks like one long set, but I have written in the changing weights and reps for each set. You can do 3 sets, as Bret suggested or, like me, you can do about 5 LOL

[fishing691]

@Kitty8Tim Just to make sure that I understand correctly: you mean that you do all these repetitions (ex. 75 kg x 12 reps, 85 kg x 8 reps, etc etc) x 5 sets????? Can you kindly confirm? It's A LOT, but it sure helps A LOT. Cheers and thanks for your reply.

[Kitty8Tim]

@fishing691 Each time I increase the weight, that is a new set. So I think I did like 5 different weights, so 5 sets - yup a lot, but once I started it was easier than I expected!

[mytubejr75]

Awesome! I like! My females clients are going to hate/love me for this one! All credit to you! lol :)

[dragns]

Marianne, the music in your gym sucks. : P

[Kitty8Tim]

@dragns LOL - it does a bit :D Lucky I am too focused to notice haha!

[MulMhmm]

how do you take the strain off the lower back?Your lifting heavy too! Puts a man like

me to shame lol

[Kitty8Tim]

@MulMhmm My glutes are trained to do all of the lifting, my back just stabilises. It's all about progression and took me to swallow my pride and regress the exercise first.

[MulMhmm]

@Kitty8Tim for me in the past, squats have worked really well for me. They give you such thinknes in your leg muscles.

May i add that your butt is proof that these excercises work! keep it up.

[Kitty8Tim]

@MulMhmm According to Bret Contreras's reseach into muscle actitvation, squats on activate the glutes 30-35%.(no matter what weight) Yet, Even just Body weight only glute bridges will activated more than twice this!! Just saying that you may think you have strong glutes (like I used to), but until you try the most basic version of the bridge, you will see just how much more they have to give ;-)

[ProgressiveOverload]

Marianne, are you using a Hampton thick bar pad like Bret recommends? I'm in the UK but can only find a 2in York pad. Any good?

[Kitty8Tim]

@ProgressiveOverload It's a York one and it works grand. UK sucks for supplies doesn't it :-/

[sass9507]

I workout at home, have the weight to do this exercise, but never thought to do this!!! Going to add this to my leg workouts. I've been looking at my flat butt lately and not liking it...losing weight gets rid of fat on the butt and I succeeded at that, but now it's time to grow my butt muscles up. Thanks for showing this!

[Kitty8Tim]

@sass9507 Hey, this will definitely achieve what you want. However to work properly you do need to progress from Body weight to this. I have a Glute Bridge to Hip Thrust Tutorial video and post on my blog, if you want ti check it out. It goes through the reasons why we may need to regress the exercise before progressing :-)

[jkdsilat7]

Great ass girl!!!

[seandp99]

Fair play Kitty! You are a true bad ass. Subscribed to your Chanel and am now following your blog site. I'm a trainer myself from Galway, based in the UK. you give hope to the women I train that are, at first, petrified of lifting a bar. Inspiring stuff. Maith bhean tú féin :)

[rolandsc]

Great work! Yikes!

[nelsonchris99]

ouch, i think the bar would crush me!

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

Agreed M. A strong butt is absolutely a beautiful butt!! Great video. So many exercises for the legs and glutes but not enough motivation from the masses to

do the work.

[Kitty8Tim]

@BigJsExtremeFitness Agreed there!

[FATtoFITvideos]

Buns of steel baby x

[Kitty8Tim]

@FATtoFITvideos Thanks Eric :D

[athleticandre26]

Very impressive! Great Glutes!

[themeaningoflife38]

your glutes are the best

[fredo17ful]

but that's wrong, you're crazy or that, with the weight you'll hurt your back if you go that way you will be paralyzed.



[Kitty8Tim]

@fredo17ful Not when you have strong glutes!! No offense, but you really have to read more about glute bridges. You don't start with the weighted variation like I am doing, you start with body weight only, and gradually increase the strength of you glutes so they can stabilise the low back. That is what the glutes are for :-)

[fredo17ful]

@Kitty8Tim To understand and, if so well then congratulations, you do a good work and thank you for having responded to are very friendly.

[skiamakhos]

@Kitty8Tim It's only about the same as they teach you in Krav Maga / MMA to get someone off you that's managed to throw you. You bridge up like that, rapidly, & pull them to the side. Assuming the person defending is able to perform the bridge it'll destabilise the attacker & make them pretty easy to shift.

[SentoukiEX]

@fredo17ful Everyone thinks they're an expert on the internet...

[kraftsportNO]

@fredo17ful The only things paralyzed in that gym are the men walking past her. :)

[rwese]

That was pretty impressive... haven't tried that yet.
