Drive through heels, keep knees from flaring, and pause two seconds at the top. Ten to fifteen reps or a sixty-second hold before squats or after long drives.
Add single-leg bridges for asymmetry work.
Common questions
-
Bridge pose versus hip thrust?
Bridge is bodyweight and shorter ROM; hip thrust adds load and bench support for maximal glute strength.
-
Why do hamstrings cramp in bridge?
Often weak glute dominance—reduce height, squeeze glutes first, and check foot distance from hips.
