Coaching cues
- Lie supine; one knee bent with foot flat; other leg extended straight up
- Drive through the flat foot; raise the hips until the body is diagonal
- Squeeze the glute of the working leg; keep hips level
- Regression from the single-leg hip thrust; builds unilateral glute strength
Common faults 2
Foot placement too close — calves drive the lift
Move the foot further from the hips so the glute drives the extension.
