Band Assisted Floor Glute Ham Raise

QuadricepsBandIntermediate

The Band Assisted Floor Glute Ham Raise targets the hamstrings and glutes while providing support through a resistance band.

  1. Secure a resistance band to a stable anchor point.
  2. Kneel on the floor facing away from the anchor, placing the band around your upper back.
  3. Lower your torso towards the ground while keeping your hips extended.
  4. Engage your hamstrings and glutes to raise your body back to the starting position.

How to perform the Band Assisted Floor Glute Ham Raise

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Band Assisted Floor Glute Ham Raise using your band.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your quadriceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your quadriceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
