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
If testing clients or own glutes out, what is a reasonable time to hold a double leg bridge and single leg bridge in your opinion.
Thanks
I’m trying this but it’s pissing me off because I’m not sure if I’m doing it right
I feel pressured to make physio appointments as soon as I’ve just finished one:(
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!:)
These videos are good, but you always show each exercise for too long. We get the point after 2-3 reps. All the extra reps just make the video longer than it needs to be.
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.
Thislookslikeadancestepofbloodsweatandtearsofbts.Don’t mind me i just came here from 30 days app
What is your name?Where do you live?Where is your fitness institute?
All your videos are excellent and useful. Thanks.
Now I’m using it for other glute exercise because the beat is perfect!!
I play this when I do my one legged bridges. Brutal but the music keeps me going! Thanks!
Thank you for this video! I’ve been doing bridges for a few days(100 reps a day for a month is the goal) and after watching your video I realized that I was doing hip thrusts the whole time.
i had no glute contraction with flat feet but when i used the balls of my feet i got more range and correct activation?
So everyone’s gonna ignore the credit card between between his butt cheeks?
I get back pain whenever I do glute bridges. Am I making a mistake?
Absolutely love your work, your channel and content is just amazing.
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 used to be able to do it back when I was in 3rd grade and now I wanna learn again
Great video. I feel well informed & I feel my gluts working. Thanks
Tell me more about bali what place i need to go with 2 kids? Where that housting hostel place? Thanks you Joe today a made that exercices!!
Really good video, very well presented and clear. Thanks for taking the time to make this. Makes a lot of sense.
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!
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.
looks good. is it still bridge pose if you also go up on your hands?
I have back pain and unable to bridge without flexing my lower back. How to fix please reply
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
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.
for how much duration, bridging can be perform?
and how many times in a day?
Thanks for the video. How do I protect my lower back when doing a straight leg deadlift please?
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!
noticed I was squeezing the glutes the entire time watching this…
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
Thanks for this Tim! really helpful and i like that you explain the movements in detail!
Do you have a suggestion for isolation if i keep getting a charlie horse in hamstring?? thanks
Hi joe nice where are you located? Nice house to rest mind good morning namaste
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
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.
Can I do this if I had scoliosis surgery? Because I was told not to bend
which is a correct posture when doing this: knees together or knees apart
Excellent expansion video on concept of bridging, any future plans for a vid. on proper squats?
Thanks for the video, and as a pointer, might want to level out the audio, sometimes I can hardly hear you.
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:)
I just love all your videos!!! they all resonate and are so quenching to absorb!!!
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!!!
Thank you for talking about correct form and safety. I need this.
Thank you for all of your videos. They are straight to the point and easy to follow. There are too many videos with lots of talking. I like people who just get to the nitty gritty.
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.
I am such a fan of your videos! You are a human catalogue of exercises
My back always hurts when I do bridges… am I doing something wrong?
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:(
Dear,
Thank you for this video as more creative. Also use the bridge in my training. I learned several new exercises in this video. Due to my spinal injury, this is one of my favorite moves to strengthen glutes, biceps femoral and lumbar. Therefore, I can do many repetitions without me injured.
Hug!
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
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
I took excellent workouts guide from Unflexal Workouts. Just google Unflexal Workouts
i love your videos man. wish you were in australia to help me out
i like adding some bridge moves to my routine…but o usually use the basic move using a plate..but this are really cool moves.. thanks for sharing the good stuff..take care
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.
Thanks SO much for the content without all of the blabbing most fitness channels use as filler. Subbing
How can I make sure I’m lifting with my glutes? When I perform the exercise I feel my shoulders pressing into the floor. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Ty
I really love these options. I am wondering if it would be useful to use some of them with my Gentle class using supported bridge.
Well done found it useful, thanks I liked that you took your time & explained in detail how important this is.GREAT JOB!!
Liked after seeing the dog at the end. Thanks for sharing all the variations!
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.
A heavy, overweight person with knee problems can’t safely get up off the ground. They certainly can’t put their body weight on their knees to do so. If these are performed in bed or on a raised flat surface then I could see them being useful.
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
I didnt know how to do it so i put a credit card in between my buttcheeks. Thanks for the tip!
How the fuck is this any form of training mate your just shagging the air
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
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!!!
H8 the music, LOVE the videos!! so many great ideas, thank you!!
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…
Tim, u deserve a medal mate! Thank you for all that you’ve taught me through your vdos! Stay blessed brother:)
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?
Tried some of these today. The “frog bridge” looked strange, but felt very good. You are awesome:)
Why do I have pain in my knees when I do a weightless glute bridge?
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:)
I’m doing it with a barbell…..wanting to build up to 220lbs
