Once you reach proficiency in the double-leg shoulder-and-feet-elevated hip thrust, you can
try the single-leg version. Many people foolishly rush into this variation before they’re ready
for it. The single-leg shoulder-and-feet-elevated hip thrust is likely the most challenging
bodyweight exercise for the hips because it requires tremendous gluteal strength and stability.
Frankly, most beginners and even most intermediate exercisers don’t possess this. Take your
time moving up through the exercise progressions so by the time you start performing the
single-leg shoulder-and-feet-elevated hip thrust you can perform it correctly. This means
moving the hips through a controlled and full range of motion while preventing lateral and
rotational energy leaks. Pause briefly at the top of each repetition to ensure proper
performance.
