I'm in the military and have been experiencing extreme back pain, ive done a lot of the physical therapy stretches, and hasn't really helped, so I decided strengthening my lower back would be better than stretching it out over and over again, done this exercise before and only felt it in the hamstrings, didn't help, thank you so much for explaining it clearly, once I started engaging my glutes my freaking back started tingling, it felt like fluid drained out of it and now my back feels freaking great, I can't explain how happy I am right now, this is the first progress I've made on my back in 2 years.

[@GamingLeguan]

Hey Men, how long have you been doing it, and where in u back did it hurt? Left or right low back?

[@susupanova]

There's a lot of videos here showing you how to do the movement right but almost no one shows you what you have to correct and where do you have to "feel it" and that's really important.

[@JohnnieDoe183]

Every single exercise video should talk about where you should feel it. This is amazing content. Thank you!

[@johnnash5465]

I met an elite physio in my country, he told me to use band while doing this execrice. I didn't ask him why, but today after watching this video I realized the reason.

I am active duty and have low back pain while running from years of muscle imbalances. I've been told to bridge by physical therapist before but never truly shown how to activate the glute. This video is a huge money maker. Thank you!

[@rosav.nieves2778]

Wow, I had seen so many videos on the correct way of doing these glute bridges. But this is the best one, I had seen so far. As soon as I followed his instructions I really felt it on my butt, was on fire. Thanks, you are very knowledgeable, great job!!!

Wow. This actually helped a lot. I’ve been doing bridges wrong all this time.

[@memyself1176]

Me too 😆

[@hikgerguy1234]

Very simple, direct explanation that I will be putting to use starting today. I went to PT the other day for hip pain and it was determined that the muscles in front of my hip were getting worked too much and those in the glute very little. He gave me exercises to strengthen the glutes, but I'll be adding this to my routine. Thanks for making this available!

[@AY-lv6we]

This videos really does a good job in teaching you how to choose a version suitable for you.

[@cristenk7230]

You are the ONLY ONE that got me to active my glutes!! Having anterior pelvic tilt is a bummer and ruins every workout. I started scrawny as hell, still am. No core or glutes hence the APT. So THANK YOU SO MUCH for literally saving my ass😉

You are such a lovely card!

[@jeffgoucher6956]

This was so incredibly well explained and so helpful. I have been getting lower back pain from running for years, watched your video on how that can be due to poor glute activation which led me here. I did as instructed here and my glutes are screaming after just a few bridges! Lots of work to do now but thanks so much for getting me on the right path!!

I do glute bridges along with double leg raises on the floor 3 sets of each with zero rest till finished every morning my posture has never been better now I have zero back pain they work beautifully

[@BackIntelligence]

Nice work!

[@sharongraff5578]

I need Bridges. I have 6 level spinal fusion in my back. The only way to stay pain free is to perform the bridges the professional way you teach! Doing them wrong is destruction. You are the Best I have seen on the site for teaching how to target GLUET not legs or back. Everyone needs these for spinal system support. unless they want to get OLD before their time. Bless you for posting this.

[@lizr9894]

I’ve probably seen over a dozen Physical Therapists over the years for back pain. None of them used this technique. I’m sure they said to focus on the glutes, but I have never been able to actually use them properly until now! Thanks so much for this video!

[@AngusDriving]

Really good video, very well presented and clear. Thanks for taking the time to make this. Makes a lot of sense.

[@weil9525]

wow.. this is the best video on how to effective do glute bridge exercise. I was surprised by how using resistance band (knee pushing out) activates the most of my glutes. In fact, just by pushing my knee/things outward with a resistant band can activate my glute muscles. Interesting how squeezing inward (with a yoga block for foam in between legs) did not activate much glute--but much more of my quads. Thank you so much for clarifying the bridge exercise.

[@johngoh767]

Dr. Oliver, your presentation on the glute bridge exercise is very informative. But there are two areas in this exercise that push me to ask you for your expert advice: firstly, how is the breathing done; before raising up inhale for the pelvic tilt to go up to the chest, then raise your butts up, and exhale for the pelvic tilt to go down, when you go down Secondly do you need to put a pillow under your head to prevent injury to the neck? Thank you.

when i do it regularly i feel in only in my quads but with all 3 techniques here i mostly feel it in my hamstrings, i can feel the glutes working a little bit but nowhere close to what i assume it should be the one exercise that i really feel in the glutes is a modified barbell lunge where i don't engage the quads i should mention i've been recommended this exercise because i have a bit of an anterior pelvic tilt any ideas about what i could be doing wrong?

[@xxSJxxxx]

If you have APT your hamstrings are likely weak. Strengthening them is a good way to help pull your pelvis back to the correct position. As long as your butt muscles are engaging it's okay if your hamstrings are feeling the exercise. Band around the outside of your legs, above the knees, is good too. I'm not a doctor or anything but I've been trying to sort out APT for a while now, weak hamstrings is definitely part of the problem. Good luck 🙂

I get people to do it it many variations (im a physical therapist) 1 glute squeeze then raise to bridge 2 glute squeeze/lofto bridge with toes.pointing out 3 glute squeeze/ lift with pillow squeeze between knees 4 glute squeeze/lift with resistance band 5 glute squeeze/lift and at the end push knees forward... And in each i ask where they feel it .. The variation which makes the glutes the main focus of contraction..is the one i ask they do repetions for

Don’t raise the bridge position too high to be arched, just make it high enough to feel your glutes. it’s gonna help alleviate your back pressure
