Barbell Glute Bridge Overview
The barbell glute bridge is a strengthening exercise for glute muscles. Many lifters assume that workouts like the squats and deadlifts are all you require to develop a complete and strong pair of glutes.
However, this isn't entirely accurate. For aesthetics, usefulness, and strength, using more isolation-focused glute workouts like the barbell glute bridge is a good option.
How to Do It?
- Stand straight and secure a handle at chest level to a cable stack.
- Grip the handle to your chest, having feet wide open (shoulder-width apart) in an athletic base position.
- Squeeze the handle horizontally to extend as you exhale.
- Go back to the initial position for fulfilling desired reps.
