First, Bret recommended doing a bridge or thrust movement such as the barbell hip thrust. If this move is too advanced, try a glute bridge, a weighted glute bridge, or a single-leg bridge, for example. "I think it [the barbell hip thrust] works the glutes best because it has the highest glute activation of all the exercises," he said.
This is because when your knees are bent, your hamstrings are shortened, which means your glutes end up doing more of the work, Bret explained. He also likes this movement because there is constant tension on the hips.
The goal for this exercise is to eventually be able to thrust double your bodyweight for three sets of 10 reps, Bret said.
