CABLE KICKBACKS FOR GLUTE GROWTH🍑 let’s unpack⬇️ Cable kickbacks are a great exercise to get a little bit more “isolation” in particular glute muscles. Remember, the glutes are made up of 3 muscles: the glute medius & glute minimus sit moreso towards the side, which is why their often referred to as the “side glute muscles”, whereas the glute maximus is the main/largest glute division in the centre. kickbacks train your glutes in the shortened position (aka, when your glutes are contracting at the top) & I love utilizing them as a non-taxing way to get some extra volume out of a session & the pump is also lovely😌🍑 FAVOURITE CABLE KICKBACK CUES: ➡️ only lean your torso slightly forward while ensuring that your spine remains neutral (we don’t want an arched back here, this will lead to potential unwanted tension in your lower back) ➡️ point the big toe of your working foot angled downward toward the floor (refer to the video to see how I do this). A very slight execution change but it will help you feel it more in your working glute by helping that muscle to fully shorten ➡️ STOP thinking about the non-working leg! That leg (although not the target), has a job in stabilizing your body throughout the movement. It’s normal to feel it to some degree in that leg, but try and shift your focus onto the glute that IS working (mind-muscle connection is everything) ➡️ spread your arms wide apart and hold onto the machine for increased stability. The better the stability, the more efficiently you can load/feel it in your working glute ➡️ personal tip: don’t try and go crazy heavy on the load for kickbacks. I find that when people go too heavy for these, they just lose their form & feeling in the glutes. So instead, opt for a light-moderate load & increase the intensity with more reps, sets, and manipulating time under tension (adding pauses & pulses at the top) Hope these tips help🍑 don’t forget to SAVE so you can refer back later🤍 . . . #glutesworkout #glutestransformation #howtogrowglutes #glutemediuskickback #glutemedius #glutemediuswork #GymTok @Oner Active @KrissyCela - @tonedwithtina
