How to do it

  1. 01

    After choosing a suitable band, lay down in the middle of the rack, after securing the band on either side of you. If your rack doesn't have pegs, the band can be secured using heavy dumbbells or similar objects, just ensure they won't move.

  2. 02

    Adjust your position so that the band is directly over your hips. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor. Your hands can be on the floor or holding the band in position.

  3. 03

    Keeping your shoulders on the ground, drive through your heels to raise your hips, pushing into the band as high as you can.

  4. 04

    Pause at the top of the motion, and return to the starting position.

In the app

Hip Lift with Band appears when you own bands and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have bands

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
