    Glute bridges are essential for getting correct hip extension in a hip hinge, deadlift and squat pattern and is one of the fundamental core rehabilitation exercises. Tim teaches the correct abdominal bracing movement and neutral spine position for the bridge lift and tips on how to activate you glutes and not overuse the lower back.

    You are the only one who explained how to tighten core. That one blow changed everything!!!! UA-camrs keep saying tighten your core and I end up flexing my core where it is like bulging but they said only to engage so I thought that was okay. But no! U explained it correctly!!!
    Thanks for this!!!

    This really explains how I messed up my lower back 😞 Wish I had seen this video before ever doing any form of glute bridge or hip thrust! I’ve been over tilting my pelvis every time doing these.. yikes!! Thanks for the clear and precise information. Once my lower back recovers I’m gonna make damn sure my spine is neutral when doing any form of posterior chain workouts. This information is a life saver (back saver) 😅👍

    Great video. Makes sense yo me. But a physio previously told me to do the elongated bridge for recovery (I have a bulging disc), the version you said you shouldn't do. I'm really confused about whether flexion is a bad thing or not and I often find advice varies from one physio to another

    Great videos! Just one question. Other videos are saying to push the back flat into the ground. So not neutral. This way you will already tighten your abs and glutes, and dont have a curve. So is neuteal better (slight curve) or back flat onto the ground?

  • @justnmai
    @justnmai 8 років тому +6

    Awesome video Tim! I just have a question regarding the neutral spine when performing the glute bridge. With the neutral spine, would there be a bit more anterior pelvic tilt than posterior pelvic tilt or is it straight where there low back is flat but not flexed? A cue I often hear is "press your low back into the ground/plinth", that way a posterior tilt is engaged. However, like you said in the video, you don't want the lumbar to be flexed because it could cause more problems. But is it okay if the low back is flat? Thank you. Sorry if my question is confusing.

    • @physiorehab
      @physiorehab  8 років тому +4

      "Flat" is technically flexed. So try to adopt a natural curve and definitely
      don't flatter you back into the floor

    • @physiorehab
      @physiorehab  8 років тому +3

      With a neutral spine there is a normal lumbar curve with no anterior or posterior tilt so as if you can find that position

    Hi! I am wondering if the 'frog bridge' is safe for people who had a herniated disc (in my case l4 l5). Now I feel good and do squats and deadlifts, too. A personal trainer told me that the frog bridge is better for muscle growth.

    Do we keep the glutes slightly contracted while coming down (during the eccentric phase)? Or would that prevent them from lengthening and contracting sufficiently during the concentric phase?

    The amount of flexion from a posterior pelvic tilt is inconsequential. A lot of the time going into a posterior pelvic tilt will bring the person into neutral because they are already in an anterior pelvic tilt.
