Single Leg Dumbbell Hip Thrust (Full Tutorial) - Glute Exercises for Beginners

In this video I'm going to show you how to perform the single leg hip thrust using a dumbbell, which is a great glute exercise for beginners AND athletes alike.

In fact, I use this exercise as a glute activation movement before squats and deadlifts, as well as a great way to increase glute strength without the need for a barbell. This is also a great glute exercise to build strength without needing to use a lot of weight.

With that, here's what you'll learn in today's video:

First, I'll show you the proper positioning in the dumbbell hip thrust and how to adjust yourself on a weight bench to assume the correct start position.

Next, I'll review how to properly set the weight on the hips, adjust the upper back on the bench, and place the feet so that you can properly perform the single leg hip thrust with correct technique to maximize glute engagement and muscle growth.
