- After the bar passes the knees aggressively pull the bar back, pulling your shoulder blades together as you drive your hips forward into the bar
- Lower the bar by bending at the hips and guiding it to the floor
- The bar path should be straight up and down in the pull and as you lower the bar

- Lean back so your shoulders are on the bench and position the bar above your hips
- Drive your hips up lifting the bar
-  In the top position your knees should be bent at 90° and your shoulders should be near the top of the bench, with your body forming a straight line between them
- Pause at the top of the lift and squeeze your glutes
- Lower your hips slowly

3 x 10 (w/ 2 second hold)

Barbell Hip Thrust

Good workout, I added some chest in there

How do I get better at strict press? It ends up being a push press which I can control much better and with heavier weights
