HOW TO DO STANDING MACHINE GLUTE KICKBACK

  1. If the machine allows it, adjust the upper-body support and starting position so you can lean against it securely and place one foot comfortably against the moving support.
  2. Set your supporting foot firmly, grip the handles, and brace your core.
  3. Push the moving support backward by extending the working hip while keeping your pelvis stable and maintaining approximately the same knee angle throughout the movement.
  4. Stop before your lower back begins to arch or your pelvis rotates.
  5. Briefly contract the glute, then return the leg slowly to a comfortable starting position.
  6. Avoid using momentum or pushing off with the supporting leg.
  7. Use the same setup, range, and planned volume on both sides.
