Hip Thrust Foot Stance Width
Hip thrust foot stance width keeps shins near vertical at lockout—shoulder-to-hip width foot placement targets glutes without hamstring cramp or knee cave.
Hip thrust foot stance width sets how far apart your feet sit—roughly shoulder to hip width with shins near vertical at the top—for glute bias without hamstring takeover or knee cave. Wider stances can increase adductor load; narrow stances may cramp anterior hips on heavy sets.
Heels stay flat; toes may turn out slightly. Film side view once per block.
Common questions
-
Should feet be close or wide on hip thrusts?
Start near hip to shoulder width with shins vertical at the top. Move wider if knees cave; move slightly narrower if hamstrings cramp, always within pain-free range.
