Barbell Hip Raise

Start: Sit on the floor with your shoulder blades against a bench, your knees bent, and your feet flat. Place a barbell across your hips.

Movement: Squeezing your glutes, raise your hips so your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Push against the floor with your heels, not your toes. Pause for up to 5 seconds in the up position, then lower your body back to the starting position.
