Operation: GET THAT B***Y BACK is still ON. ππ¨π
Running is great, but we all know ya girl is putting in some extra work to rebuild that b***y! π©ππ½ββοΈ
Todayβs weapon of choice: Smith machine hip thrusts with my feet elevated on a low step. π₯
Why this setup?
π Hip thrusts target your glutes, helping you build strength and muscle over time.
π The Smith machine guides the bar along a fixed path, which can make it easier to focus on your setup, control and progressive overload without having to balance a free barbell.
π Elevating your feet can change your range of motion and allow a deeper bottom position, depending on your mobility, body proportions and setup. More range isnβt automatically better, though. Only use a depth you can control while keeping your pelvis and lower back stable.
My tip? Keep your feet securely planted, control the lowering phase and squeeze your glutes at the top without overextending your lower back.
And remember: the setup should work for YOUR body. A step is an option, not a must.
Weβre building, not rushing. Consistency over shortcuts. π
Tell me, are you team Smith machine or team barbell hip thrusts? ππΎ
