Doing the hip thrust strengthens the posterior lower muscles such as the hamstrings, quadriceps, abdominal muscles, hip abductors, and with gluteus maximus and medius – as the muscle group which gains more advantage. Strengthening these sections can result in better squats, stronger hip drives for cleans and snatches, and stronger hips and abdominal muscles. Hence, it’s worth performing this exercise in good form. The AbMat Hip Thrust Pad (HTP) is a unique stack of pads, diligently layered according to how it will contact the bar, hips, and pelvic area. Inside are the following 1) the harder part – which directly contacts with the bar- distributes the weight and takes away the pressure from the pelvic; 2) four pieces of white foam to further help distribute the weight evenly and 3) sandwiching the foams is another comfortable black foam which directly contacts with the hips. Others, especially beginners, might find the hip thrusts an awkward movement. The AbMat HTP can help ease the discomfort and difficulty as it bends with the body allowing effective, secure, and comfortable hip thrust exercise. TheRack.Co is an official retailer of AbMat in the Philippines.
