Strength / Loop Band
This exercise uses a loop band to increase glute activation during a hip thrust, effectively targeting the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, and gluteus medius for improved lower body strength.
Loop Band
beginner
compound
Place a loop band just above your knees and sit on the floor with your upper back against a bench.
Bend your knees, plant your feet hip-width apart, and position the band to create tension.
Drive through your heels, extend your hips, and lift your glutes off the floor until your body forms a straight line from shoulders to knees.
Squeeze your glutes forcefully at the top, ensuring your knees are pushed out against the band.
Slowly lower your hips back to the starting position with control.
Choose a load and range you can control. These instructions are general guidance, not a substitute for individual coaching.
