Product Information

Additionally, treaded strips keep your feet in place and stoppers at the end of the rails keep the bar from rolling off the machine. This specific type of bench allows you to hip thrust with a barbell or resistance bands with a very easy setup. This movement helps develop power, mobility, strength and stability in these major muscle groups which transfer over to everyday life when doing things like carrying groceries or going up flights of stairs! Biomechanical analysis offers insight to the underlying kinematics and kinetics of a training exercise, providing coaches and athletes conceptual understanding to bring objectivity to sport-specific exercise selection [ 16]. Investigating the musculoskeletal demand placed on the lower limb and pelvic-trunk joints is fundamental to biomechanical analyses of strength training exercises [ 17– 22], although has yet to be undertaken for the hip thrust. Specifically, for the hip joint, whilst authors have proposed that the hip thrust requires a consistent hip extension moment and greater muscular “tension” when hip joint is close to full extension [ 4, 5, 7, 8], there is currently no joint kinetic evidence to support these ideas. Not everyone needs a barbell pad, so we've included some versatile alternatives too. It's all about finding the right balance between comfort and functionality.

Jordan's new, and vibrant, neoprene studio dumbbells come in a fresh new colour set, with Hex styling. Perfect for home...If you don’t want to do the “old school” setup of using a bench, barbell, crash pads, and half the bumper plates in the gym, there are some leg machines at the gym you can MacGyver to do hip thrusts. As new hip thrust belts hit the market I’ll be updating this article to include a wider variety of options.

Strongmen and Strongwomen: Like powerlifters, the hip thrust can be a good warmup or accessory exercise to support moves like deadlifts, squats, upright carries, sled pushes, pulls, and more sport-specific exercises. Additionally, by wearing a belt while performing hip thrusts, you'll be able to add more weight to the movement without putting undue stress on your spine. The RPM Power hip-thrust belt has been designed to easily add hip-thrusts to your workouts from home using minimal equipment in a safe, comfortable way. Hopkins W, Marshall S, Batterham A, Hanin J. Progressive statistics for studies in sports medicine and exercise science. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. 2009;41:3–12. pmid:19092709 Multiple benefits come along with regularly performing hip thrusts. Whether you’re a beginner or a weathered gym rat, there’s a lot of incentive for you to bring hip thrusts into the fold. Glute Hypertrophy, Strength, and PowerYou just take the velcro straps and wrap them around your weight, then attach them to the main flap before folding it in half. Super High Weight Capacity! This works awesome. It has made my hip thrusts a little easier with DB. Having a gym in the basement and limited space this little gadget is an awesome addition. I’ve used it for hip thrusts and curtsy lunges (across my shoulders) Great idea. Also, most gyms don’t have up to 200lbs dumbbells or kettlebells if you want to max this thing out – and they’d be pretty tough to move into position if your gym has them! You probably also know that weighted hip thrusts can be super awkward and painful on your hips and wrists…

It handled the 100lbs dumbbells that I tested it with fine, but the larger size of those ended up pinching my hips a fair bit. The bench should hit just below your shoulder blades, and your feet should be about shoulder-width apart. You can rest your elbows on the bench. Unpaired t-tests were used to analyse the differences in external resultant forces acting at the feet and thorax, and a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare differences in joint kinematic and bilateral kinetic data between the knee, hip and pelvic-trunk joints. When a significant main effect was observed, Bonferroni post-hoc analyses were implemented to identify significant between-joint comparisons. T-tests and ANOVA were conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics (version 26, IBM, Armonk, USA), and statistical significance was accepted at p< 0.05. To accompany inferential statistics, Cohen’s d effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using Estimation Statistics [ 27]. When confidence intervals of the effect size did not overlap zero, magnitudes of d were interpreted as small (0.2 ≤ d< 0.6), moderate (0.6 ≤ d< 1.2), large (1.2 ≤ d< 2.0), very large (2.0 ≤ d< 4.0), and extremely large ( d ≥ 4.0) (equivalent scale used for negative values of d) [ 28]. We gave the belt a good thrashing using a range of dumbbells (up to 200lbs total added!) and also tested it out doing a variety of exercises that weren’t hip thrusts. Clark DR, Lambert MI, Hunter AM.
