Hip Thrust Chin Tuck Bracing
Hip thrust chin tuck bracing keeps neck neutral and ribs down through lockout—stops cervical extension and low-back arch from stealing load from the glutes.
Hip thrust chin tuck bracing keeps a gentle chin tuck and ribs down while the pelvis drives up—reducing cervical extension and lumbar hyperextension on heavy lockouts. Eyes look forward, not at the ceiling; the neck stays long on the bench.
Pair with a brief exhale before each rep to set intra-abdominal pressure without breath-holding through long sets.
Common questions
-
Why does my neck hurt during hip thrusts?
Often the head drops back and cervical extensors overload. Use a chin tuck, keep eyes forward, and reduce load until lockout stays neutral.
