Barbell KAS Glute Bridge

The Barbell KAS Glute Bridge targets the glutes and hamstrings while enhancing stability and strength.

  1. Lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor and knees bent.
  2. Place a barbell across your hips, holding it securely.
  3. Engage your core and push through your heels to lift your hips towards the ceiling.
  4. Hold at the top for a moment, squeezing your glutes.
  5. Lower your hips back down to the starting position and repeat.

How to perform the Barbell KAS Glute Bridge

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Barbell KAS Glute Bridge using your barbell.
  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.
