2. 02Begin by extending the hips using your glutes and hamstrings, raising your hips upward as you bridge.
3. 03Pause at the top of the motion and return to the starting position.

Form cues

• —Brace your core before the first rep and keep it braced.
• —Drive through the full range — do not cut the lockout short.
• —Control the lowering phase — that is where most of the growth stimulus lives.

Common mistakes

• —Using momentum instead of the target muscle.
• —Cutting the range of motion short to add load.
• —Adding weight before the movement pattern is clean.
