hip thrusts and glute bridges all the way. my glutes are not a strong part of my body. for now, i am doing high reps without added weight, but i do do single legs to really burn them out. some day i'll move up to adding weight. yeah, they look a little "funny" but once you do it a few times, who cares... you get used to getting some looks.

Yes, I do them with a good amount of weight on there. i started elevating my shoulders onto a bench to add ROM, tho its ridiculous trying to get up there with 135 lbs in your lap, lol. After I added these into my leg days they really seemed to make a difference in my bootay.

One of my favourite exercises....I don't care whose looking at me! It such a great burner.
Katie Coles really knocks out those hip thrusts - about 40 seconds into vid...but it's worth watching all of it:

Well actually when I did them the other day I wasn't worried but now that you have brought it to my attention I might be a bit worried next time haha! The last set I did I ctually had trouble getting the bar off and one of the guys that works at my gym saw me and helped me get it off! I could have done it myself though ;-)

I use a bench to raise myself a bit higher, which I thinkg is more comfortable + you don't get the bounce in bottom position. What kind of weight do you girls use?

wow i did this move today after reading it on this thread last night and wow was it a good workout. I used a bench to support my shoulders and get a larger ROM. I started 65lbs . definitely burning by rep 15! good move!

I use 155 right now, for 8 reps.
I do use a bench to elevate my shoulders, but it is damned hard to get up there properly! I can't get more weight than that up on my lap and them into position, even though I could thrust more weight. The guy in one of the videos does it so easily, I think because he is tall with a tall torso. It would be better to use a step or something, except that they are hard on your shoulders.
I find if I increase the weight too much when flat on the floor, I can't stay up on my shoulders throughout the move."A champion is someone who gets up even when he can't" ---Jack Dempsey

I have the same problem with my bench. We have a home gym bench and in order for me not to tip the thing over i have to wedge it into the squatting rack in such a way that it holds it in place. My BF has no problem doing them again the bench once it is wedged in there tight, but i have a much shorter torso so i feel like i have to position myself in an odd way to get the shoulders up on the bench.

I pushed the bench up against a wall this morning which made it a lot easier to position myself but I still had trouble getting the bar on and off. I left the bar on my hips in between sets because I was worried I wouldn't be able to get it back on! It felt much more effective today though and I lifted the same weight (30kg) and did 4 sets of 10.
