Hip Lifts: Weighted, Barbell

Begin seated on the ground with shoulder blades flush on a bench behind you. Have a loaded barbell with pad placed above your hips. Begin the movement by driving through your feet, extending your hips vertically through the bar. Your weight should be supported by your shoulder blades and your feet. Extend as far as possible, then reverse the motion to return to the starting position. Repeat for all reps and then have barbell removed from hips.

Keep your head up and your hips & chest in proper alignment. Breathe in on the way down. Breathe out on the way up.
