Machine Glute Kickback

How to Perform This Exercise

1. 1 Position yourself on the machine, torso bent forward, arms at your sides.
2. 2 Grasp the handles with a firm grip.
3. 3 Keep elbows fixed and close to your body (except overhead).
4. 4 Extend your arms while contracting the triceps to lockout.
5. 5 Return slowly to the starting position while resisting the weight.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not raising the hips high enough for a complete contraction.
• Arching the lower back instead of keeping the pelvis in posterior tilt.
• Pushing through the toes instead of the heels, reducing glute engagement.
