GLUTES

Smith Machine Hip Raise

BeginnerBarbellMachine

A hip thrust style movement performed under a Smith machine bar with your back on a bench and feet on the bar. The fixed bar path takes stabilizing out of the equation so you can push harder on the glutes and hamstrings. It's a controlled way to load hip extension and build glute strength.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie back on a bench positioned so the Smith bar sits at about arm's length above your hips.

  2. 2

    Bring your knees up and plant the middle of both feet on the bar, roughly shoulder-width.

  3. 3

    Brace your core, unhook the bar, and extend your legs so the bar lifts clear of the safeties.

  4. 4

    With knees slightly bent, drive your hips up toward your ribcage to press the bar higher.

  5. 5

    Once your lower back leaves the bench, lower with control back to the start.
