Is my hip thrust form right?
A good hip thrust finishes with your hips fully extended, your torso roughly parallel to the floor, your shins close to vertical, and your ribs down, so the glutes do the work rather than the lower back. The common faults are stopping short of full hip extension, over-arching the lower back at the top, and feet too far out or too close.
