The height of BootySprout's foam back support is 35.5 cm, measured from the wood foot rest. This is an ideal height for hip thrusting. Most flat benches are 41 - 46 cm in height and are too high for most users when performing barbell hip thrusts.
]]>BootySprout comes with 60 kgs of resistance. We also sell both 20 kg and 30 kg resistance bands if you want more resistance. BootySprout has a safe use limit of 180 kgs. Get your sprout on!
]]>BootySprout is fantastic for back health and weighted hip thrusts are recommended by physical therapists for back pain.
]]>To use BootySprout, simply sit down on the floor in the enclosed space with your legs resting flat, your back as close to the foam back rest as possible, and your arms raised back and placed on either side of the back rest.
Next, strap in the resistant bands. Once strapped in, place your feet on the wood ~0.4 meters apart with knees bent. When performing the thrust you want the upper middle of your back on the back rest.
Once you start thrusting, your booty will not touch the ground. At the top of the thrust, you'll want your lower legs at a ~90 degree angle to the ground, so adjust your feet on the wood accordingly. The bottom of the thrust will feel natural, with your lower and upper legs making a ~45 degree angle.
We recommend using as high a weight as you're comfortable with, and performing 3-5 sets of 10-15 reps.
Half Thrust:
These are challenging, and great to end sets on. Instead of going all the way down on your hip thrust, only go half way down and then back up.
Wide Stance Hip Thrust:
These hip thrusts will seriously target your outer glutes. Simply widen your feet on the wood, and perform normal and half thrusts.
Our recommended 15 minute workout:
If you can do 3 bands, go for 3 bands!
Set 1: 12 normal thrusts
Set 2: 10 normal thrusts and 6 half thrusts
Set 3: 10 wide stance thrusts and 6 half thrusts
Set 4: 10 normal thrusts and burn out on half thrusts
You will be sore for several days after the first workout...but after that, 2-4 days a week. Get your booty on!
