Glute Bridge

Maps to Activation. Tests whether the lower body can do its job at impact — staying in posture while managing vertical, rotational, and lateral forces at once.

Assesses: glute function (vs. hamstring/low-back substitution) · postural control under load · hip flexor–glute balance. Setup: supine, feet flat, knees up, neutral spine; drive through the feet to a straight line from knees through hips to shoulders.

Scoring (1–5)

Score	What You'll See
1	Full hip extension with both feet on the ground
2	Holds full glute bridge for 10 seconds
3	Holds full glute bridge for 20 seconds
4	Single-leg glute bridge on both sides with full hip extension
5	Holds single-leg glute bridge 10+ seconds on both sides

Watch for leg shaking (hamstring dominance) and single-leg asymmetries.
