About the Glutebuilder Hip Thrust Elite
The Hip Thrust Elite is a plate-loaded hip thrust machine that works like a smith machine built for one movement. Choose it for a facility or serious home gym that wants barbell hip thrusts without setting up a bench, bar and pad each time. The barbell rides on a double linear bearing system, so it moves up and down and also slides forward and back with the user.
Room and loading
The machine is 77 inches long, 67 inches wide and 51 inches tall, and weighs 550 lb. Plan space around it for loading plates on both ends. The empty bar carriage starts at 66 lb and the machine takes up to 660 lb of load. Four storage horns hold plates on the frame, and band pegs let you add resistance bands.
Fit and adjustment
The oversized angled back pad adjusts to seven heights, and the shoulder pads adjust with it, so users of different sizes can set the pad where their upper back meets it. The 3D angled, non-slip foot plate keeps the feet planted and allows the hips to rotate outward through the movement. The bar racks at three locking points.
Build
The frame is welded heavy-duty steel with a powder-coated finish, and Precor lists it as meeting EN957 and ASTM standards. Instructions are on a placard with a QR code.
