Hip thrusts and the "Kas Glute Bridge" (popularized by Coach Kassem Hanson) are both effective exercises for targeting and strengthening the glutes, but they have some differences in terms of setup and execution.
Setup:
Sit on the ground with your upper back against a bench.
Roll a barbell over your legs until it's directly above your hips.
Place a padded mat or barbell pad on your hips for comfort.
Execution:
Lift your hips towards the ceiling, creating a bridge with your body.
Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement.
Lower your hips back down, maintaining control.
Benefits:
Targets the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back.
Provides a significant range of motion for glute activation.
The Kas Glute Bridge is a variation that Coach Kassem Hanson popularized. The specific details may vary based on his teachings, but it generally follows the principles of a glute bridge with potential modifications.
