The Booty Builder Standing Hip Thrust is a machine designed for performing hip thrusts while standing, i.e. a movement based on extension in the hip joint. The main target of the training is the gluteal muscles, especially the gluteus maximus. Depending on the position of the feet and the range of motion, the hamstrings, thigh adductors and other muscles of the lower body are also involved in the work. The machine belongs to the Booty zone and is suitable for independent training of the gluteal muscles or as part of a comprehensive leg training.
The advantage is the guided movement and support in the pelvic area, which eliminates the need to prepare an axis, bench or other aids as with a free hip thrust. The setup is quick and the position remains stable during the exercise. The user can focus on the position of the feet, controlled movement of the pelvis and the equal engagement of both sides of the body. Multiple grip options and adjustable position of the supports allow the machine to be adapted to different heights and body proportions.

Standing Hip Thrust is suitable for series with a controlled pace and for gradually increasing the training load according to experience and current plan. During the exercise, the support should be adjusted so that the waist or pelvis rests comfortably and the movement is carried out without sudden bending in the waist. The feet remain firmly on the supports, the knees point in the axis of the feet and the upper position is completed by straightening at the hips, not by bending the torso.
The machine will be appreciated by visitors who want to include hip thrust without the hassle of setting up the barbell or finding a free spot on the bench. Thanks to the stable construction, it is easier to maintain consistent technique between sets. With unilateral variations or with different foot positions, it is possible to change the emphasis within the glutes and back of the thighs. The load should be chosen so that fluidity, control and a full usable range of motion are maintained.
