Hi nostr gym people. I have q question about hip thrusts. Do you find that there is not enough room to get the bar plus padding in place before doing the exercise? And without the padding it's too painful? How do I get around this? Should I raise the bar and plates somehow? #asknostr 🏋️

Yes. I don't know, so also interested in ideas.
The solution I found is to raise the bar using plates turned on their side. My gym doesn't have any real specific equipment so that's my best bet. It should work but is a bit of a nuisance
I tried something simliar, but then couldn't reach full depth...
I only do them for warmup/activation, and sometimes (when back is feeling a bit wobbly) for last set because I can crank up the weight a bit more than a regular squat...holding those for 3 seconds...gets a nice burn...
Yeah good point. Depth is crucial so I might just suck it up and do without
