Traditional Barbell Hip Thrust vs. VHT Glute Band

Barbell hip thrusts aren't a bad exercise .. they just aren't good for everybody.  I have thoracic scoliosis and traditional hip thrusts hurt my back and are awkward and time-consuming to setup!  I wanted another way to progressively train loaded hip extension without the bench pressure on my spine.  That's where the Vertical Hip Thrust Glute Band began.
