Excellent content as always! One question I have is re: the relative height position of the back rest pad to the top of the knees. I use a BB and have a hip thrust pad which has an adjustable height. Here in this vid it appears your back (shoulder blade) rest height is slightly higher than your knees. I usually set up lower. I suspect I’m recruiting more hamstring involvement, but would love your insights. Lastly, I think I go a bit too “jam own nee” at the top of the movement and hyperextend the hip upward. Is that ill advised?
I don’t know about anyone else, but a barbell or smith machine destroys the area that I does the contact, regardless of the pad that I have tried. The machine is way way better for this imho
@@calle6075Yeah I know, I just do some other exercise then. The barbell hip thrust take so much time to set up and warm up to appropriate weight anyway
Yesss. I was looking for a thorough tutorial on this movement. Thanks.
:)

@@kapoioBCSGreeeat. Not many gyms have these machines.

what about pushing with the toes?
great info however this movement does not give full range of motion for the glutes as does the rotary hip machine
