Banded Hip Thrust

1. Sit on the floor with your back against a bench so that the edge is just below your shoulder blades. With a booty band around your legs slightly above the knees, place a barbell where your hip bends (roll the bar up your legs to get there).
2. Raise the hip upwards until it is as high as your shoulders while making sure to press the knees outwards against the booty band’s resistance.
3. Return to starting position.
