Main muscles

  • Gluteus Maximus

Also working

  • Adductor Longus
  • Gluteus Medius

What it is

A glute bridge with the soles of the feet together and the knees falling out. The position bias the glutes strongly and is often done for high reps. Squeeze hard at the top.

Technique tips

  • Soles together, knees out
  • Keep the heels close to the hips
  • Drive the hips up
  • Squeeze the glutes at the top

How to track your progress

Log reps, and add the extra load if you wear a belt or a vest. Straddly counts your bodyweight in the estimated max, so added weight and extra reps both show up as progress, and new records are flagged during the session.
