How to do it

  1. Start by sitting on the edge of a bench with your upper back resting against it and your feet flat on the ground, hip width apart.
  2. Place a barbell across your hips, holding it securely with both hands.
  3. Engage your glutes and core muscles, then press through your heels to lift your hips off the bench, creating a straight line from your knees to your shoulders.
  4. Pause for a moment at the top, squeezing your glutes.
  5. Slowly lower your hips back down to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
