The most complete hip thrust setup here: plates load onto weight horns and a padded belt carries the load, so there is no bar to roll over your legs. Bells of Steel rates the current V2 at 600 lb combined on the horns and lists a pivoting back pad, an angled footplate and a belt that latches and adjusts in length. It is the most expensive product in this guide and needs a dedicated spot, which is justified mainly if you hip thrust several times a week.
Pros
- Plate-loaded with weight horns and hip belt — no barbell to roll into position
- 600 lb combined capacity on the weight horns (V2, per Bells of Steel)
- Pivoting back pad and angled footplate built for the movement
Cons
- Highest price and a large, heavy frame that needs its own floor space
