DH Kickback

Glutes Machine

Description

The DH cable kickback exercise is a resistance exercise that targets the gluteal muscles, primarily the gluteus maximus. It involves attaching an ankle cuff to a low pulley cable machine and securing it around one ankle, then kicking the leg backwards against the resistance of the cable while maintaining a slight bend in the knee. This exercise effectively isolates and strengthens the glutes, promoting muscle growth and enhancing hip stability when performed with proper form and control.

How To

01 Attach the ankle strap to the low pulley

02 Face the machine, brace your core, soften your knee

03 Kick your leg straight back against the cable

04 Squeeze your glute hard at the top

05 Control the return and repeat before switching legs
