Tips

Focus on lifting your hips high to create a stable bridge, ensuring your glutes are engaged and your lower back is protected. Draw your heels towards your glutes, bending your knees as much as needed to maintain a controlled movement and feel the hamstring activation. Keep your ribs pulled down and engaged to prevent arching your lower back and maintain a neutral spine throughout the exercise. Actively squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement to maximize glute activation and stabilize your hips.
