Smith Machine Hip Thrust

The Smith machine hip thrust targets your glutes and hamstrings. Here’s how to do it:

1. Sit on the floor with a bench behind you and the Smith machine barbell across your hips.
2. Place your feet flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart.
3. Drive through your heels to lift your hips until your body forms a straight line from shoulders to knees.
4. Pause and squeeze your glutes at the top.
5. Slowly lower your hips back to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
