Single leg hip thrust is a challenging exercise to engage your glutes and hamstrings. They are going to help you to build better glutes and improve overall strength.

Hip thrust is a powerful movement where you use your glutes to drive your hips up to the ceiling. As you can imagine, the single-leg version uses only one leg to accomplish this. It’s an excellent exercise to use for almost anyone, but as always, it’s really useful only if it’s done in the right way.

• Then, raise one leg off the ground and hold it in the air. Keep your chin tied, and your eyes forward.

Common Mistakes.

1. Pushing Your Elbow.

In other words, pushing your elbow makes this exercise a waste of time. So, the next time when you practice this exercise, make sure your arms are completely relaxed and all your weight is shifting directly to the upper part of your back.

If you’re still facing trouble not using your elbows, thrust the single leg hip by crossing your arms over the chest. This position forces you to put all your weight straight into your upper back which loads your hips and forces your glutes to work.

2. Hyperextending Your Lower Back.

In short, your lower back makes it harder to use your glutes, which, like pushing your elbows, makes the single-leg hip a waste of time.

To that end, when you’re doing this exercise you must be sure your back is flat (personal trainers call this position “neutral”) by bringing your ribs down and lightly flexing your abdomen.

3. Not Using Your Glutes.

If you’re not using your glutes, you’re not doing this exercise properly. And, unfortunately, most of the people aren’t using their glutes. One of the most common reasons people have trouble using their glutes is because they drive with their toes rather than their heels.
