Light and can easily fit in any spot in an apartment . Perfect height for me to do hip thrusts or bench press .
Very easy to load up and take weights off. The handles are nice and sturdy. Well thought of product
This is such a convenient piece of equipment, much easier than setting up plates every time I need elevation.
I am so lucky to have all of the BC hip thrust benches in my gym, and I really didn't think they could get any better tbh! BUT yet again Bret comes through with the goods! This bench is on a new level! It is just perfect that the back pads can be adjustable to suit everyone! I find the new rounded back pad a lot more comfortable, and the rotating back pad is game changer!!! My Clients and I found using the rotating back pad gave us a lot of lower glute engagement, and also SO comfortable for single leg variations! Just like most BC strength equipment, I love how versatile this bench is, the rounded back pad is perfect to utilise for Bulgarian split squats, and the nordic ham curls also work so well! You need this bench ;)
I just got mine last week along with the rotating bar pad. Never expected it to be so heavy and sturdy!! I loved it. It gives you perfect stability and the rotating back pad is a total game changer. You can feel the burn even without any weight on. Everyone should have a thruster at home or at their gym. This piece of equipment deserves to be as popular as the leg press. Thank you Bret for inventing so many cool stuff for us gym rats
This thruster is amazing! I put it together by myself; super easy assembly! I had been using the 2.0 version and recently purchased this one...wow! What a difference the back pad makes, the adjustable height settings and round pad make it soooo much more comfortable-I see major PRs in the near future!
One thing I wish were available is the ability to purchase the rotating back pad accessory separately...I didn't want to spend a whole lot so just went with the thruster itself, but in the future may want to purchase it as well.
Such a great space saving piece of equipment. It's more comfortable than a normal barbell because it's thicker and it's more stable because it's shorter. It's a game changer.
These plates make getting into position for a hip thrust so much easier. The extra diameter of the plates is genius! They also work for block pulls without the need for blocks.
Such a versatile piece of equipment. You can use these glute benches for a variety of exercises including: hip thrusts, preacher curls, lat pulldowns, bench press, dips etc. They are a quality product that is well priced.
The quality, durability and the graded system make these the best glute loops on the market.
I have kitted my home gym and have added a hex/trap bar because I prefer squatting without the weight on my back if I can. This is just the perfect way to graduate from the db straddle lift to a trap bar but obviously the strength gains would transfer to bar squat or deadlift equally.
I was surprised at how light it is and it is of excellent quality, like all BC Strength products. The pin does not slide out or jiggle. Just perfect.
The best sponge I could have, it totally changes the game, you can charge more and it fully protects you. It’s perfect!
I have issues with my left knee, patella tendon and hip thrust was always my favourite exercise but struggled and could never fully activate glutes correctly anymore since it got chronic. Now with the Thruster Lite it enables me to perfect technique with correct height and comfort and the burn in my glutes is amazing!
This is the best sponge that I have ever tried. I have tested on heavy hip thrust and you just don't feel any pain. What means I am training more efficiently. I am so happy, I totally recommend this sponge.
I have this, a glute band and a few small dumbbells. I get am amazing full body workout with HTL. My heart rate goes up substantially after doing about ten slow hip thrusts (with a regular band). I have seen a dramatic improvement in my post-pregnancy weak pelvic floor, and definitely a perkier bum after just a few weeks of regular workout sessions. I do lower weight and higher frequency (4-5 times a week), as I don't have the space to lift heavy. If you are had a baby and are concerned with your pelvic floor weakness, hip thrusts are truly amazing. I bought this on a whim and I am so happy I did. Thank you!!!
Purchased it for a friend and she loves it! Planning on buying myself one too.
I had been using my 16” wood plyo box to do hip thrusts on and I was sort of feeling awkward going past 200 lbs bc it was too high and just not right. This bench makes it so much more comfortable and I can easily lift more weight now. I am 5’6.5” and debated which size to get. Ultimately went with the 12” even though that seemed short, but it is perfect! I thought it might slip around but it has gripper material on the bottom so stays in place pretty well. Great buy!
