How to do it

Barbell frog hip thrust with band: exercise position

Barbell frog hip thrust with band

Hip thrust with the upper back supported, a frog stance and a band above the knees to combine extension with hip control.

Form. Rest your shoulder blades on the bench, bring the soles of your feet together, push your knees against the band and extend the hips without hyperextending the lower back.

Common mistake. Losing band tension, lifting from the back, or letting the knees cave in.
