Barbell Lying Lifting (on Hip)

Target
Glutes

This hip-lifting movement loads the glutes and hamstrings by raising the barbell off the ground from a lying or hip-supported position, similar in intent to a glute bridge but with a different bar path. It's a less common variation that still hits the same hip extension pattern. Keep the bar stable across the hips and drive through the heels at the top.

How to Do the Barbell Lying Lifting (on Hip)

  1. Lie flat on your back on a bench with your feet flat on the ground and your knees bent.
  2. Hold the barbell with an overhand grip and position it on your hips.
  3. Engaging your glutes, lift your hips off the bench until your body forms a straight line from your knees to your shoulders.
  4. Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your hips back down to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
