Machine glute kickback

How to do it

1. Set up the glute kickback machine and rest your forearms on the pad.
2. Place one foot on the platform or pad with the knee bent.
3. Push the platform back and up by extending the hip with your glute.
4. Squeeze the glute at the end position without arching your lower back.
5. Return under control and finish your reps before switching legs.

Common mistakes

• Compensating with the lower back instead of extending the hip.
• Cutting the range short and not squeezing the glute at the top.

Other variations
