Standing Glute Kickback Machine

Description

This exercise utilizes the glute kickback press machine to target mainly the glutes, the major hip extensor of the body. This is a great addition to isolate the glutes in any legs workout routine.

Benefits

  • Targets mainly the hip extensors - the glutes muscles.
  • Targets individual muscle of each hip - this will help address any muscle imbalances between both sides.
  • This is a great way to practice hip extension using mostly the glutes with less help of the hamstring muscles.

Risks

  • This exercise can injure the lower back if not properly executed.
  • Proper resistance and weight progression is advised when doing this exercise - to avoid movement compensations.
