I no longer do leg presses because the machine is always taken, but when I did I would put a rolled up towel on my lower back to give it some support. Takes the strain off the lower back.
I don’t know if you get any lower back issues with doing hip thrust, but from what I’ve seen on RUclips, and experienced with myself, if you use your back as the pivot point, it takes the strain off the lower back. It looks like you’re using your hips as the pivot point, and I know if I execute a rep that way, it puts too much stress on the lower back.
Hydration is key for keeping blood pressure up. Feeling faint is often a sign of low blood pressure. People think they are hydrated but most are not. Especially in the morning after a night without fluids. Thirst is also not a good indicator of hydration. Nor is urine output.
My god the misinformation here. First off, no. Feeling faint in context of exercise could be from a variety of things, dehydration included, but more likely stimulation of the vagus nerve from improper breathing during lifts (bearing down and not exhaling). It could be nutritional, inadequate warming up, over doing exercise beyond your cardiac capacity, electrolyte imbalances, and on and on. And urine output is LITERALLY a measure of hydration. We want to see 30 mL/ kg per hour of urine output, as well as evaluate the color and smell of urine. Greater than 30/kg/hr and nice pale color is probably THE MOST ACCURATE WAY a layperson can assess their hydration status, period, in the absence of checking actual Cr and BUN values.
Nice work Keeley
Been waiting for this!!
Keep up the work gonna add into my routine thanks for the great tips

I actually don’t experience any back pain with hipthrust, Thankyou for the tip tho I appreciate it!
Most ppl go too heavy on it. You don’t need a ton of weight

Love this!!
When you first started hipthrusting, did it ever feel unstable/awkward?
Yes absolutely! It’s all about your foot positioning, making sure you’re positioned in a V with your legs slightly more then shoulder width apart!
