Primary muscles: Glutes

Secondary muscles: Hamstrings, Quadriceps

How to do it

1. Set up with your chest against the pad, hands on the handles, and the ball of one foot on the pedal with that knee bent about 90 degrees.
2. Brace your torso against the pad and drive the pedal back and up by extending your hip and knee, squeezing the glute hard at full extension.
3. Avoid arching the lower back or rotating the hips; the movement is the leg, not the spine.
4. Return under control until the knee is back to the start position, complete the prescribed reps, then switch legs.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Machine Glute Kickback from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Glutes volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
