Thank you! I do both exercises.
200 pounds on your bridging? Are you putting weights over you stomach/hips? I do hip thrusts with 30 pounds. Maybe similar process?

So good on the planks!! Congratulations. 1:20. Whoo-hoo! Something to shoot for. I do 30 seconds, when I do them

I guess it’s actually called a barbell hip thrust. I usually start with my shoulder blades just above an 18” box at the gym. I put a 20 pound bar with a soft pad in the middle across my pelvis. I start with a couple of 45s and lift my mid section up to the 18” level. It reminds me of a saying I have always loved that I saw at a gym years ago. It said that your max on your first day of working out will become your warmup in a few months if you stick with it. That is so true as I used to start with a couple of 10s and worked my way up to the 45s by my 3rd or 4th set. Now I warm up with the 45s and end with two 45s on each side.
