rzen b71ee0a355 Add the hinge pattern: Deadlift, RDL, Glute Bridge, Hip Thrust, Back Extension
The biggest hole in the coverage matrix - the hinge had zero entries in
any modality. Deadlift and Romanian Deadlift are the library's first
standing (camera.zoom) and first barbell motions.

Glute Bridge

The floor hip hinge — drive through the heels and lift the hips until the body is a straight line from shoulders to knees.

  • Category: Warm-up and main circuit
  • Type: Hip extension (floor)
  • Targets: Glutes, hamstrings
  • Prescription: 3 × 1215, squeeze at the top

Setup

Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat on the floor about hip-width and close enough that your fingertips can graze your heels. Arms rest at your sides.

Execution

  1. Press through the heels and squeeze the glutes to lift the hips.
  2. Stop when shoulders, hips and knees form a straight line — no arching past it.
  3. Hold the squeeze for a beat, then lower with control.

Cues

  • The glutes lift the hips; the lower back just comes along.
  • Ribs stay down — finish with the glutes, not by overarching.
  • Knees track over the feet, never falling inward or out.

Common Mistakes

  • Pushing through the toes instead of the heels.
  • Overarching the lower back at the top.
  • Bouncing reps off the floor.

Progression

Pause holds at the top, then single-leg bridges; graduate to the barbell Hip Thrust for load.
