Stronger than 20% of lifters. You can perform the Floor Hip Extension with strict form and a smooth tempo. You are adding resistance progressively without sacrificing range of motion or using body English.
Stronger than 50% of lifters. Your Floor Hip Extension is performed with excellent control and targeted tension. You use RPE to manage isolation work intensity and program it strategically within your training split.
Stronger than 80% of lifters. You have built significant strength on the Floor Hip Extension through disciplined, progressive training. You employ advanced techniques like drop sets, pauses, and tempo work to continue driving adaptation.
Stronger than 95% of lifters. Your Floor Hip Extension strength is at the upper end of what most lifters achieve. You have maximized the target muscle development through years of focused, periodized isolation work.
How to Progress Your Floor Hip Extension
Tier-specific training recommendations to move your Floor Hip Extension to the next level.
- Train the Floor Hip Extension 2x per week with slow, controlled reps.
- Focus on full range of motion and eliminating momentum or swinging.
- Keep sets at RPE 6-7 to develop proper movement patterns.
- Build the mind-muscle connection - feel the target muscle working on every rep.
- Increase load progressively while keeping strict form on the Floor Hip Extension.
- Program 3-4 sets of 8-15 reps at RPE 7-8.
- Add a variation (different grip, angle, or equipment) to address development gaps.
- Place isolation work after your primary compound movements.
- Use drop sets, paused reps, and partial reps to break through Floor Hip Extension plateaus.
- Train at RPE 8-9 with advanced intensity techniques on your last 1-2 sets.
- Manipulate tempo to increase time under tension without compromising form.
- Manage total volume for the target muscle group across all exercises.
- Maximize Floor Hip Extension strength through precise programming and fatigue management.
- Use periodized blocks to cycle between volume, intensity, and deload phases.
- Quality of contraction matters more than load at this level.
- Continuous refinement of technique will yield the remaining gains.
How to Perform Floor Hip Extension
- Lie face down on the floor with your legs straight and arms resting by your sides.
- Keep your core engaged and your head in a neutral position.
- Lift one leg towards the ceiling while keeping it straight and squeezing your glutes.
- Hold the position at the top for a moment, ensuring maximum glute contraction.
- Slowly lower your leg back to the starting position without touching the floor.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps and then switch to the other leg.
Tips for Floor Hip Extension
- Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement to avoid lower back strain.
- Focus on squeezing the glutes at the top of the movement for maximum activation.
- Keep your core engaged to provide stability and support for your lower back.
- Avoid arching your back during the lift; the movement should come from your hips.

Is Your Floor Hip Extension Good for Your Weight?
Strength standards help you objectively measure your Floor Hip Extension performance relative to other lifters of the same bodyweight and sex. Here is how to interpret them:
- Find your bodyweight in the left column of the table above.
- Look across the row to find which strength level your 1RM falls into.
- Use the age tab to see how your strength compares within your age group.
- Switch between Male and Female standards using the toggle - each has its own dataset.
If you do not know your 1RM, use the E1RM Calculator to estimate it from any rep set. For example, if you can Floor Hip Extension 185 lbs for 5 reps, the calculator will estimate your max.
These standards are derived from 2.5M+ competition results across powerlifting, weightlifting, and strongman federations worldwide, combined with community training data.
