Smith Machine Glute Bridge: how to do it and form tips

A floor glute bridge loaded with the Smith machine bar across the hips. Easier to set up than a hip thrust and great for glute activation work at moderate loads.

Form tips

1. Lie on the floor with knees bent and feet flat, bar resting across your hips with padding.
2. Drive hips up until your body forms a straight line from knees to shoulders.
3. Squeeze glutes at the top — don't hyperextend the lower back.
