Hannah Demonstrates the Barbell Glute Bridge TECHNIQUE: This movement is done by placing the barbell on your hips, just below the pelvic bone and raising the hips into a bridge position then lowering the body back down in a controlled manner. Legs should be at a 90 degree angle, so hamstrings are not engaged during movement. ADVANTAGES: This is one of the most effective movements for core and glute activation. FAULTS: The fault shown in this video is incorrect foot placement. Some other commons faults include keeping the feet too close to body and leaning too far onto the shoulders at the top of the bridge. SCALING: This can be made easier by using just body weight or adding a band just above the knees. This can be made more difficult by holding at the top.
