Barbell hip thrust

Shoulder blades on a bench, bar padded across the hips, feet set so the shins are vertical at the top.

Barbell hip thrust
  1. 1Tuck the ribs and the chin slightly. Look forward, not at the ceiling.
  2. 2Drive through the heels until the hips are fully extended.
  3. 3Pause and squeeze at the top without arching the low back.

Easy to miss: Overarching the spine to fake a lockout.

Copper on the figure is a prime mover. The softer tone helps.
