TRAINING CROSSFIT ATHLETES ON THE GOLD COAST

Why include hip thrusts as an accessory exercise to your Olympic Lifting program? Because weightlifting is all in the hips! You do a hip thrust every time you perform a snatch or clean.

Key Points:

The only difference between this exercise and the hip thrust in your lifts, is that you do it while standing and with straight legs rather than sitting/laying with bent legs. As far as the exercise goes it is the same motion.

* Use the hips/glutes to hyperextend NOT the low back.

* Begin by trying to get a straight line from the knees to the shoulders. Then push your hips up by squeezing your butt as hard as you can.
