Ditch the Barbell. Drive More Power.

No more stealing a barbell and bench just for hip thrusts. Our Plate Loaded Glute Drive is a purpose-built machine for serious lower-body power, eliminating the hassle of makeshift setups. Simply load the plates, plant the feet, and drive through each rep. Whether athletes are aiming to maximize sprint speed and explosiveness or focus on serious glute gains, our machine delivers unmatched force production without wasted time and setup.

No Adjustments. All Drive.

Glutes aren’t just for show—they’re the power center of athletic movement. Acceleration, agility, and raw strength all start with a strong posterior chain. Our Glute Drive removes distractions with a zero-adjustment design, allowing athletes to lock in and focus on performance. The high-density, half round back pads keep the user in position for optimal thrust mechanics, while the Line-X coated non-slip foot platform provides a rock-solid foundation to push harder, drive stronger, and build explosive power where it matters most.

FAQ

A dedicated Glute Drive eliminates the hassle of setting up a barbell, finding the right bench height, and dealing with discomfort from the bar pressing into the hips. Our machine provides a stable, purpose-built platform that allows athletes to generate maximum power without worrying about balance or awkward positioning. Plus, it frees up a barbell for other movements, keeping the training floor more efficient.

The angled foot platform isn’t just for comfort—it optimizes foot placement to maximize glute activation. By elevating the heels slightly, athletes can drive through the entire range of motion with better force production, ensuring the glutes take on the brunt of the load. This alignment also reduces unwanted stress on the lower back and allows for a stronger, more explosive hip thrust.

Strong glutes are a cornerstone of explosive movement—they drive acceleration, power output, and overall stability. Whether it’s sprinting, jumping, cutting, or driving through an opponent, glute strength is a game-changer. Our machine helps athletes build hip extension power, which directly impacts speed, agility, and force transfer in virtually every sport.

Yes. The dual-loop strap system allows for a higher lift-off point, ensuring proper positioning for athletes of all sizes. The wide waist pad distributes weight evenly across the hips for comfort, while the half round back pads with a spinal relief gap help keep users properly aligned throughout the movement. This means athletes can train with consistent mechanics, regardless of their height or body structure.
