Exercise Profile

Pulley Glute Kickback Overview

The pulley glute kickback workout is a targeted exercise that primarily engages the glute muscles.

The pulley acts as a resistance mechanism, allowing for controlled and effective glute activation.

By attaching the pulley to the ankle, the exercise isolates the glutes, minimizing involvement of other muscles.

This workout is ideal for individuals looking to strengthen and tone their glutes with precision.

Pulley Glute Kickback Instructions

  1. Attach a handle to the low pulley of a cable machine, and adjust the weight to a challenging but manageable level.
  2. Stand facing the machine with your feet hip-width apart, and hold onto the handle with both hands.
  3. Engage your core, keep your back straight, and slightly bend your knees.
  4. While maintaining a stable upper body, exhale and kick your right leg back, extending it fully until your glutes are contracted.
  5. Pause for a moment, then inhale as you slowly return your right leg to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.
  6. Repeat the kickback with your left leg, exhaling as you extend it back and inhaling as you bring it forward.
  7. Continue alternating legs for the desired number of repetitions.

Pulley Glute Kickback Tips

  1. Position yourself facing the pulley machine, with your hands gripping the handles and your knees slightly bent. Engage your core and maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.
  2. Start the exercise by extending your right leg back, keeping it straight and in line with your body. Focus on squeezing your glutes as you kick your leg back, feeling the tension in your glute muscles.
  3. As you reach the peak of the movement, pause for a brief moment and really concentrate on contracting your glutes. This is where the magic happens and where you’ll feel the burn!
  4. Slowly lower your leg back to the starting position, ensuring that you maintain control and resist the weight as it pulls your leg forward. This eccentric phase is just as important as the concentric phase for building strength and muscle.
  5. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other leg. Remember, it’s not about how fast you can do the exercise, but rather the quality of each rep. Focus on mind-muscle connection and really feeling your glutes working with each kickback.
