What belongs in this group
Train hip extension and abduction through squat, hinge, bridge and targeted machine patterns.
Common options
These examples cover distinct setups rather than a ranked list.
- Hip thrust
- Romanian deadlift
- Bulgarian split squat
- Hip abduction
How to choose
Choose movements that cover both lengthened and shortened hip-extension demands without duplicating fatigue for no clear reason.
Keep the chosen movement stable long enough to compare performance, unless pain, equipment or programme fit requires a change.
Catalogue quality
Bulk Coach's exercise catalogue contains names, instructions, muscles, equipment, movement patterns and substitutions. Individual exercise URLs remain outside the sitemap until their instructions and added programming guidance receive a recorded founder review.
