Learn the barbell glute drive with proper form: keep your knees behind your toes and feet positioned back to emphasize glutes over quads. Work 8-15 reps, tuck your head, and move only your pelvis while your ribs stay still for maximum glute activation and safety.
My preference when using the glute drive or any barbell glute thrust exercise, the rep range I like to use is 8 to 15 reps. And that's for multiple reasons, because when we're, we're loading and we're loading this axis when we're lying down and we're loading directly through the pelvis, not standing up. So firstly, what we want to also consider when we're doing this is the shin position and where we're at. So if we're wanting to use more quads, bring your feet lower onto the machine. Now by reverse, let's get you nice far away. What you can see now is that the knee is well behind the toe. So it's probably going to be now probably a little bit more glute activation, a little bit harder for her to get that full extended position. The other considerations we want to make on setup is our rib position. We want to put the pelvis on top of the rib cage as we do it. You can see her head position as well is tucked, keeping everything locked. So the only thing that is moving is the pelvis.
