The barbell glute bridge is a weight-bearing version of the glute bridge exercise. It allows you to build strength and endurance in your gluteal muscles.
Your gluteal muscles are three muscles located in your buttocks. These are:
- the gluteus maximus
- the gluteus minimus
- the gluteus medius
Weighted glute bridges and a similar exercise called the hip thrust have grown in popularity in recent years. These exercises target the gluteal muscles without straining other parts of your body.
