The Glutebuilder Hip Thrust Elite is a machine designed for hip thrusts, i.e. pushing the pelvis upwards while sitting with the back and shoulders supported. It focuses primarily on the gluteus maximus, while the movement also works the hamstrings and other muscles involved in hip extension. It belongs to the Booty zone and is suitable for more targeted lower body training. This model has a guided axis and disc loading. ([precor.com](https://www.precor.com/en-US/products/GPL0612))
The main advantage is a stable position during exercise. The inclined bench, shoulder support and non-slip platform help keep the body in the set position, so that attention can be paid to the movement in the hips. Adjustable bench height and shoulder support position allow you to adapt the machine to different figures and choose the appropriate range of motion.

The axis guide is designed to move in both vertical and horizontal directions. This promotes a smooth repetition while allowing the user to move naturally. The inclined platform keeps the feet in contact with the machine throughout the repetition and also allows for external rotation at the hips.

Hip thrust is suitable as the main exercise in the training of the glutes or as part of the training of the legs. The load is chosen according to the current level and technique, while it is important to adjust the support so that the movement is controlled from the bottom position to the extension in the hips. In the upper phase it is recommended to avoid excessive bending in the lumbar region and concentrate on a smooth completion of the movement.
The advantage of the machine over the free axis is easier preparation and a more predictable path of movement. The user does not have to focus on stabilizing a separate barbell, but on foot position, pelvic work and even pace. This makes it a suitable choice for visitors who want to include hip thrusts in their Booty Zone workout without the complicated adjustment of free weights.
