Great video. I feel well informed & I feel my gluts working. Thanks
Wow, I had seen so many videos on the correct way of doing these glute bridges. But this is the best one, I had seen so far. As soon as I followed his instructions I really felt it on my butt, was on fire. Thanks, you are very knowledgeable, great job!!!
really appreciate your channel, lots of brilliant honest and intellectual advice.
I did this when I was 4 I’m now 11 and I can do in but I’m not anymore flexible
Genius! I have been trying bridges for a while now but could never figure out how to feel my glutes doing the work. Thank you.
Well done found it useful, thanks I liked that you took your time & explained in detail how important this is.GREAT JOB!!
Thank you kindly. Most important tip regarding posterior tilt, so as not to hurt an already bad back with a disc problem that I have. Bless you.
HOLY SHIT I LIFTED MY HEAD OF THE GROUND AND FELL YA HOO IMPROVEMENT LMAO
I will add this as I my build myself back up
keep rockn it!!!
Why do some trainers and coaches teach the posterior pelvic tilt version as a means of better activating the glutes if it’s harmful? Thanks!
Can I do this if I had scoliosis surgery? Because I was told not to bend
Hey man, I hope you’re doing well. Your channel is seriously underrated, and I’m sad to see that it hasn’t taken off yet. I remember when I first started doing body-weight exercises, in many cases you were the only one to break down certain exercises so that any beginner can progress into it. Kudos to you, and I hope your channel does take off and break the 100k and even 1mil marks.
Hey YouTuber do you know how to do a back bend with one hand I know how to do that like this one if you know how to do it and what he told us to do
When i do a glute bridge it immediantly causes my right leg to tingle, why?
Uhhh…your explanations are perfect! Yay…thanks you for all your videos:)
welp the only thing I can do is cartwheel,pushups,situps and a split:’)
Hi matt. Is the straight bridge a decent ab exercise as well?
I already know how to do this but idfk why i presses on this
Tip: lay on your back, hold someone ankles and lift your feet into the position. Then try to lift your back. After doing that and it doesn’t work, do a bridge normally but get someone to lift you and hold for 5 seconds or however long you can do it for, it will hurt at first but that’s a good thing and is telling you that you’re growing muscle and making your back flexible. Now do it again without support and keep in mind to straighten your elbows.
Hey, hope you will ans my questions.
Why my neck hurts while doing this exercise? Is it becoz of the weights I add? I hold the dumbell with my both hands and my back also kinda hurts…
I CAN DO EVERYTHING EXCEPT LEANING BACK AND DOING A BRIDGE!!
Everything is fine with me except my head hurts me so bad..
I can do a outstanding bridge. But I can’t kick over. So hopefully this helps
Hi! I am wondering if the ‘frog bridge’ is safe for people who had a herniated disc (in my case l4 l5). Now I feel good and do squats and deadlifts, too. A personal trainer told me that the frog bridge is better for muscle growth.
Why do I have pain in my knees when I do a weightless glute bridge?
looks good. is it still bridge pose if you also go up on your hands?
You are the only one who explained how to tighten core. That one blow changed everything!!!! YouTubers keep saying tighten your core and I end up flexing my core where it is like bulging but they said only to engage so I thought that was okay. But no! U explained it correctly!!!
Thanks for this!!!
I didnt know how to do it so i put a credit card in between my buttcheeks. Thanks for the tip!
i honestly lost the muscle memory after surgery. i got strength again but forgot those little details. that hamstring pull tip was exactly what i needed to get back up there. THANK YOU!
hi sir,while performing this bridge workout am getting knee pain and back pain. let me know wts d reason for DAT.do DAT pain harmful for me? can I continue d workout or stop?
i love your videos man. wish you were in australia to help me out
Thanks for this Tim! really helpful and i like that you explain the movements in detail!
Great vids Tim.
How often should the core stability exercises be done (glute bridge, planks, etc)? Is it best to do daily, or to take a day or two off in between core strengthening workouts?
Thanks.
Great video. Makes sense yo me. But a physio previously told me to do the elongated bridge for recovery (I have a bulging disc), the version you said you shouldn’t do. I’m really confused about whether flexion is a bad thing or not and I often find advice varies from one physio to another
I used to the bridge completely wrong!This video helped me so much,I learned this,then I learned the back roll,and now I can do a backflip ASAP!!!!
I just love all your videos!!! they all resonate and are so quenching to absorb!!!
i can do bridge the problem is i don’t know how to finish it i just fall on the ground hard lool or how to stand up from bridge..please show us how to
Awesome video Tim! I just have a question regarding the neutral spine when performing the glute bridge. With the neutral spine, would there be a bit more anterior pelvic tilt than posterior pelvic tilt or is it straight where there low back is flat but not flexed? A cue I often hear is “press your low back into the ground/plinth”, that way a posterior tilt is engaged. However, like you said in the video, you don’t want the lumbar to be flexed because it could cause more problems. But is it okay if the low back is flat? Thank you. Sorry if my question is confusing.
hey matt i ve noticed that recently you have starte to use gimnastic ring. what do you think about the false grip? a lot of time ago in your videos you said that rings don’t suit well to our hands
Tim, u deserve a medal mate! Thank you for all that you’ve taught me through your vdos! Stay blessed brother:)
Does this movement use some same muscle of handstand pushup?
I do this every among the day. I started with 250 times in peaces of 50. Now I’m up to 500. My ass is so strong and my back and legs
Hey Matt, how often to incorporate rings into your calisthenics training?
What are the reps and sets for this exercise? I have weakness and a mind muscle connection loss with my right glute. What do u suggest? Thanks
Wow, a Youtuber who admits when he is beyond his field of expertise and STOPS! What a rarity, this is why I like this channel.
Thanks for the video, and as a pointer, might want to level out the audio, sometimes I can hardly hear you.
My back always hurts when I do bridges… am I doing something wrong?
O.M.G I used to be able to just push up instantly into a bridge but I can’t anymore I just dont have arm strength anymore I need to work on it I need to omgggg
I took excellent workouts guide from Unflexal Workouts. Just google Unflexal Workouts
Excellent expansion video on concept of bridging, any future plans for a vid. on proper squats?
I find hamstrings tight if i press my heel hard in this way of glute bridges. I immediately lower myself.Why does this happen?
I don’t have the best knees because of years of track but this pose tends to hurt them when I do it. Am I doing something wrong or is it just a bad workout for my knees? Thanks! Love your videos by the way:)
Photo one is good but two and three sucks off eggs. The back neck vertebrae are not supported and go off on a tangent. It’s the same with back squats you need your neck in line with your spine to avoid injury time. On a squat my eyes are focused about a meter off the ground rather than eye level. Mark Rippetoe and Starting Strength talks about this and much more.
Use the strength of your glutes to bridge and squeeze your glutes for 2-3 seconds at the top.
Thank you very much for these wonderful videos. I just have question, I had injury before, so my left thigh inner muscle is weaker. when I do the bridge with band, should the band be worn below the knee cap or above? In your video is below. Thank you very much
This is by far my favorite YouTube fitness channel. My yoga teacher says you should avoid tensing you glutes during the bridge as it can result in back damage; have you got any views on that (she’s been doing full bridges for a while)
i can do everything else, but how do i get my heavy torso off the ground???? please help (; 😉
People please give me some more tips on how to accomplish the human bridge… please
I don’t know why lm watching this when l already know how to do a bridge lol
Thank u
I used to be able to do it easily but then I stopped and then a year later I tried doing it I couldnt
Thank u
damn that last one seemed kinda creepy, will definitely give it a shot just cuz of that:’)
Like I can do a bridge I can even do it on legos but if you can’t and you want to never give up
Idk how many times I repeated this @ 3:03 “sick”
Me already know how to do the bridge just searching it up so I know I’m doing it right
I try it on the bed first then do it at the ground it’s so easy if you do that
Matt, your videos are great. Do you offer a product that is a compilation of your YouTube instructions? thanks.
If you’re having trouble getting your head off the ground (like me) I recommend putting around 3 pillows under your head and keep practicing that, once you having it down take away a pillow, and keep doing that until you have your bridge with no pillows
Thanks to everyone asking about the best way to inhale and exhale while performing this exercise. Physical therapist Shane Noffsinger says that with the bridging exercise, it is helpful to coordinate your breathing with the up phase and down phase of the movement. This ensures that you are not holding your breath, and it can even help with the proper muscular stability for this exercise. Exhaling on the way up as you engage your gluteal (buttock) muscles, and then inhaling on the way down is the best way to breathe with this exercise. This will help engage your deep abdominal stabilizer muscles.
I’m only here because I looked up a back-handspring tutorial and it said you needed a back limber. It also said that to do a back limber you needed a backbend and that to to a backbend you needed to be able to do a bridge. Shows how much titles of videos can deceive you.
Youuuuuuuu dontttt helppppp anythingggggg myyy littleeee sisterrrrrr dosentttt know whattt youuuu areeee doinggggg
I’ve learned all of them but except the last one but I’m practicing Thanks
Starts at:54. 1st exercise: do front & back 5 times and hold each for ten seconds. (one set equals one) 2nd exercise: do 5 times front and back and hold each for 10 seconds. (One set equals one) do the same for 3rd, 4th, & 5th.. attempt actual bridge if u can
My biggest challenge is extending my shoulders. They are pretty stiff!
So I can hold a bridge with bent hands for more than 2-3 minutes, but I simply cannot extend my arms!
Suggestions are very welcome
I literally learned from my friends at recess and nailed it so fast
I’ve seen Bret Contreras and Jeff Cavaliere use frog bridges. When do you think we could switch up with this variation, if at all possible?
Cali movement! I know that one, good recommendation, thanks for the good video.
I strained my back and now I have to regain the simplest skills
just got instructions from Unflexal and I’m ready for the my training:D
Eh this doesn’t help (No Hate)
I self taught myself to do the bridge
I am 35 years old and can still do the bridge and when I hit sixty years old I bet I still could do the damn bridge hey can u fold ur legs in lift ur body up with ur arms and swing ur self I can so yeah me being sixty years old I would show grandma’s grandpa’s they can’t beat me
So everyone’s gonna ignore the credit card between between his butt cheeks?
Wait to you all are doing back bends and front handsprings like me XD
EXCELLENT VIDEO!! Sometimes therapists don’t get the form of this exersize correct for patients with disc problems.Thank you greatly for the clearly presented,accurate description of how to do this exercise safely, in a way that won’t hurt people with lower back disc problems.Well Done.Thank you
You’re amazing, I’ve been wondering for months why my back hurts when I do bridges, now I know its cause I keep posterior tilting. Thank you for making my day
I do this.
This exercises is best for bridge.
Thanx for give this video
Hey Matt, whats your take on doing bridges when you have spondylolisthesis?
Pretty much all bending aggrevates it for me:(
Hello I keep going on my tip toes when I do this bridge, how do I prevent that?!?
i need help, how do u lift ur head of the surface u do ur bridge on? i cant lift my head
Hi, for how many seconds should someone hold the full bridge and how many sets should be done? Also I feel my entire back which is great but how do i get more glute and hamstring activation?
I could do it already,but I just want to see if she do it right! And give some tips in the coments!
Any tips on how I can strengthen my week arms haha, I can’t lift myself up
And your gonna push up… Girl My Body doesn’t know how to push that’s why I’m here
wow can I hire you for my work rehab pls, tired of these baby step functional blah blah.. physio and excersise phys have noted hip/core instability etc (I had a low back work injury recently, mechanical loading not disc etc) I’m just keen to get shit fixed and sorted proper so I can go back to work (labourer job.. bending/twisting/lifting) and not jack my shit up! Very keen to hit the gym but frustrated with all this “funtional” stuff.. EVERYTHING we do is functional in some way!!. sorry.. any advice/suggestion you could give I’d really appreciate!:)
Hey you missed something important how many reps do you start out with being new at this. good grief.???????????????????
How can I do a backhand spring? What muscles do I need to strengthen and how???
I struggled with my weight and musclebuilding for over a decade… with ups and dowms. I tried nearly every form of diet and training method. I now stick to the approach of doing fitness everyday so it can become a habit and it works the best for me by far! Your content and the way you explain it, is the best I did receive like ever, no bs! So thank you Sir! You do a fantastic Job, wish you well!
I tried doing it for 5 mintues it really worked, thank u so much ma’am ♥️
Can you do it but from standing up? cause I want a tutorial on that.
My hands are weak but I finally did it I never gave up and I believe that you Can do the bridge too!
Damn im very muscular and i couldent even do step 2! Love it
searched only to know when to inhale and exhale.. n u didn’t tell that important thng..
Me: oh, this looks easy!
Also Me: UHGG! I CAN’T LIFT MY HEAD OFF THE DAMN FLOOR!!!
Thanks so much for the video now I can do a bridge. in your face sifu
Hey Matt! Could you show us how to perform some of the safer neck bridges progressions wall neck bridges, incline, tabletop. I know you said to treat them as isometric exercises so that’s what i’ve been doing. But which muscles should I tense? I figured if my forehead is on the ground/wall/table I should sqeeze the muscles on the front of my neck and if my occiput is the contact surface I contract the back of my neck + the traps. Is this good or should I just drive the tension in the entire neck, jaw and traps regardless of the neck side being trained?
ive been working on my butt for a quite a long time and I barely feel the burn anymore. I’m afraid it doesnt work anymore:(
You don’t have very much engery and…the intro kinda scared me lol also video was very helpful
Really good video, very well presented and clear. Thanks for taking the time to make this. Makes a lot of sense.
My arms aren’t even strong enough to lift me up.
And yea, I did like my own comment.
Hello, I am currently on step 2 of convict conditioning (straight bridges) and my wrists are killing me. Should I turn my palms horizontally?
How you add weight for this? Because full bridge is not an option
I’m impressed that you didn’t go on to the bridge progressions you’re not comfortable with. It really makes me trust your advice. Way too many fitness youtubers go outside of their zone of expertise and it always makes me doubt them. Respect for showing integrity.
Bless you. I’ve been articulating my spine and doing a posterior tilt during barbell glute bridges and it always put so much pressure on my tailbone and lower back so I avoided them altogether.
I’ve recently discovered your channel and I am enjoying the content youre putting out. You keep mentioning Convict Conditioning so I got interested and checked it out. How long did you follow the programs there? Are you still doing them?
I’m trying this but it’s pissing me off because I’m not sure if I’m doing it right
I can do a bridge I was just making sure she was doing it right lol
I can’t seem to feel enough tension in my back unless I do static holds
i can’t walk down the wall and i can’t keep my arms straight
My shoulders appearently lack flexibility. As I go up with the straight bridge, my shoulders strain too hard to take a straight shape. Now It isn’t too hard, but it’s still a bit annoying to feel the strain as I’m trying straighten my abdomen.
Does the 2nd variation also works on rear delts, because of the arm stand?
Ok so at first I couldn’t do it it was like my hands didn’t move I thought I was weak and that’s why but then I kept doing the arm exercise and went to a wall and went down a little like I was going to do the bridge and then I tried again but move my hand closer to my head so I guess my hands were to far apart but I didn’t know how to get out of the bridge so I just let go so I fell down
Thank you SO much all of my friends said you can’t do it you can’t do it well let’s see what they say tomorrow THANK YOU SO MUCH if it weren’t for you I’ll still be made fun of
for people that feel like their hands are getting stuck: try standing up and getting your hands as far over and behind your body they can go. for most it wont go further than in line with the body, right? then how do you think youre magically gonna be able to do it in a bridge? you have to stretch your spine to the point your upper body “points” to the floor so that you dont have to extend your arms that much. you will probably have to do some thoracic extension stretching to be able to do it.
Do I return to a seated position at the end of the movement or do I keep my Butt just slightly above the ground? Great video btw!
As part of my yoga practice I’ve found that if you put a foan roller against a wall I can go all the way up. The only limiting factor with me to get all the way up is in my wrists. The foam roller allows the body to elevate much higher. Try it!
hey Matt, really liked this video, i wanna join the “world” of bridges but i have shoulder mobility issues. you said you have them too, and a few months ago in another comment you told me to check out bridges for shoulder mobility (in my case, i have problem in reaching the overhead position). how should bridges help me in this?
These are so hard…what good is strength and power if I have no ROM?! #gettowork
Hey Matt you said that for the second version of the bridge i need more shoulders mobility. How can i get more?
Matt Furey
was, is a big endorser of the back bridge as well.
i couldnt focus because of how much he looks like colin farrell
The amount of flexion from a posterior pelvic tilt is inconsequential. A lot of the time going into a posterior pelvic tilt will bring the person into neutral because they are already in an anterior pelvic tilt.
doing one leg bridges on shoulders feel better for me than table or the 3rd you mentioned
So the mini band make the spine dont move and this make the exercise more efective?this exercise is so easy to do.i only feel something after 30 second
Love your videos you are great
Thanks a lot but I still don’t know how to stand up can you please show me how when your next video
IT WORKS but every time I wanna release The floor keeps hitting my shoulder and neck lol

hi, what are your thoughts on teenagers doing a cutting phase
I wanna cut a bit for the summer but they say I should t cause I am growing and my hormones…
it would just be a 2500 calories per say diet
I am 15
Do you still include grip/neck/calf work into your training regularly or not so much?
I have back pain and unable to bridge without flexing my lower back. How to fix please reply
If u can’t get ur head of the ground keep doing the elevated ones and find more stretches to do
Sir sir, I don’t mean to sound rude at all, but is it possible for you to talk more specifically about the position of your legs to your shoulders and so on? (for e.g, for this exercise, have your feet at the width of your shoulders for optimum movement and comfort) and etc, thank you so much for the great videos, I am a 16 year old who just started weightlifting and would love to incorporate calisthenics in my life ❤️
Thank you very much. I will add this to my routine and try it tomorrow!
just sub’d your channel and like what I see, enjoy your presentation of the subject and honesty as stated below,
Maybe it’s me but i think there shoukd be a step between straight and elevator bridges
Yo, I’m stuck in the next-to-last step, it’s frustrating because it prevents me to complete the kip up! Any tips to overcome this?
good job on the thumbnail Matt! nice video also. learned something today!
for how much duration, bridging can be perform?
and how many times in a day?
i almost had the bridge but my spine felt like it was gonna snap so i stopped asap. the stretches did help my back feel better
Me: Ha this should be easy
My bones: and this next song folks is called crack crack crunch
WOAH, I’ve been doing moderate back stretches for a while so I could do bridge and was discouraged this morning when I still couldn’t do it. However, after I did these stretches for a few days, I did a bridge no problem! I suppose that my back was already flexible enough but it simply wasn’t used to the it was the “vertebrae by vertebrae from the floor” movement
Matt is like the only fitness youtuber who emphasizes so much on bridges
When I try to tense/pull/contract the hamstrings in the first progression, my hamstrings cramp. Any idea what’s happening there?
How is bridging exercise performed? In sets of 3 x 8-12 or can I do like 10 in the morning and 10 in the evening? Thanks Matt, quality channel/videos!!!!
when I do those table bridges I only feel the tension on the triceps
I know how to do it here are the steps
1: Believe in yourself
2 be positive
Then you DONEEE
Yay! A new Matt’s video:)
Full of usefull tips as usual. Thank you
Matt you could throw in some feet-on bench lying bridges, very nice exercise, i don’t know how it fits in to those progressions but works the posterior chain hard.
Thanks for the video. How do I protect my lower back when doing a straight leg deadlift please?
HI THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO NOW I HAVE LEARNT BACK HANDPSRING.
THX:)
I loved this. I’m just approaching a bridge to work towards handstands. Basically bridge -> walk over, then slow down that walk over once strength is there.
It’s super cool that you said what you’re working on. Makes it way more real as it shows you as a working athlete with real goals
It’s funny how most girls can fall back into a crab from a standing position then do a handstand when they’re at school, but try it as an adult, and you nearly break your neck. What happened?
Thank you for talking about correct form and safety. I need this.
i know how to do the bridge but how do i do it like while im up and go down? lOL somone explain pls
I opened youtube to comment on one of your other bridge videos or to email you because I switched to straight bridges and can’t get my hips right up. But by the look of your laying bridge I need to work on those some more, then do table bridges.
Great timing:)
I’ve heard those hyper-extended bridges can cause some issues if made into a regular routine. Any thoughts on this?
which is a correct posture when doing this: knees together or knees apart
OK, so after doing pilates for years and being ingrained with the rollup rolldown concept. my new physical therapist is telling me to keep the back straight, lead with the chest going up but lower first with the hips again keeping the back flat, abs braced. My question is this would this put more stress on the low back? Thank you!
My friend, I finally sealed it!:-) The method I used is “brute force” [in Italian, we call it “doing things the ignorant way”]. I was reading a book on the sofa, then I suddendly decided: let’s do it! And it worked. It happened 5 mins ago, and now it’s midnite, here.
Take care 😉
Do you have a suggestion for isolation if i keep getting a charlie horse in hamstring?? thanks
good thing i did this at my friends house they have a soft thicc rug
Ok I have a problem. When I go into it I find it really difficult to breathe like my windpipe is blocked and then when I come out of it the feeling carries on for a few minutes. Does anyone have a solution?
OMG! Your amazing. I had no hope in me but I did it!!!!! thank you soo much.
In Convict Conditioning Paul says you should start bridges after mastering lvl6 of squats and leg raising. But he doesnt say exactly why. Is it ok to start with the first stages?
I have a tip for bridge. Yes this helps for the technicality of a bridge but if your struggling with strength (like I am) I recommend doing a core workout. It’s hard I know but I got my bridge after it and I was so happy. So if your struggling with strength I recommend doing a core (or glute) workout.
You and Nancy Pi both have very similar speech patterns. Very pleasant. I was expecting more calculus though
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRGXV1QlxZ8aucmE45tRx8w
omg it worked i couldnt lift my head while doing the bridge but now i can!
My arms just won’t move!!! Pelvis, hips, flexible n do anything but why won’t my arms push up?? I used to years ago, I also do martial arts so I’m not weak but my arms feel like they are paralysedhelp????
Who else can’t do the average bridge:\ it’s just my head everything else is great
I used to be able to do it back when I was in 3rd grade and now I wanna learn again
I dont know why i searched this up if i already know how to do it
I feel pressured to make physio appointments as soon as I’ve just finished one:(
I’m doing supermans for back training in my core workout, can i substitute them with bridges? Its difficult to make the superman more challanging after some time.
my head is too heavy, i cant get it off the ground!! help!?!?
Hey Pigmie I love the videos, by any chance could you please do a video on tricking progression? You have a video on Bboy powermove progression and how you learned, was wondering if you could basically do the same thing, but with tricks? If you still have the white board xD
I already know how to do a bridge but how do I stand up while getting into a bridge
After doing a bridge it’s important to do 3 sit ups or sth like that! Especially if you’re not used to this position…
+pigmie Great! Thanks for this video, i needed something like that 😉
BTW, what happened to your other channel, onlykindsfitness? Did you abandoned it?
Thanks this actually worked for me. Much better than the other video I watched. I haven’t done a bridge since I was a kid and I’m 28 so my body really didn’t want to but I’m happy to say it finally did!
what can i do to not get sick filling when i do a flip??? answer
