Dear Athletes, in this video, learn why the glute bridge is a terrible exercise to do. Here's the truth: regardless of the variation, like the kas glute bridge or single leg glute bridge, this exercise is literally the opposite of what you should be doing. Here's why, and watch the full video to find out how to strengthen your engine to be a more powerful athlete. 

1. The most obvious reason is to do a glute bridge, you are lying down on your back, which is neither an athletic position nor a practical position for daily life. There will be zero carry-over to anything you need to do on your feet, especially anything you need to do on a court, field, or track.

2. A glute bridge typically is done by driving the weight through the heels. As an athlete, you are. not supposed to be absorbing force on your heels. The heel has a purpose, but it certainly isn't an athletic one.

3. Driving your hips from back to forward is not a position or move ent to be doing to cure back pain or hip pain, because the root of back pain or hip pain is compression. When your problem to begin with is compressed hips due to excessive sitting, the glute bridge is literally reinforcing a compressed position, and will make it worse.

4. When you remove the intent behind any movement, it loses it's effectiveness, and will likely actually train you towards pain or an injury.

Find out the extremely simple drill you can do instead, which is completely transferrable to all agility sports or simply to alleviate back-pain-causing compression.
