How to do the Dumbbell Hip Thrust
- Sit on the floor with your upper back resting against a bench, knees bent, and feet flat on the floor. Hold a dumbbell with each hand across your hips.
- Press through your heels to lift your hips upward until your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees.
- Hold the top position for a moment, ensuring your glutes are fully contracted.
- Lower your hips back down to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
- Press through your heels to maximize glute activation.
- Avoid arching your lower back; maintain a neutral spine.
