Cable Kickbacks

Experience a powerful glute burn with cable kickbacks using ankle straps, an exercise that precisely isolates and sculpts your posterior chain with every controlled movement. Watch as each repetition targets your glutes for a stronger, more defined backside.

How to Perform Cable Kickbacks (Using Ankle Straps)

Follow these steps to perform cable kickbacks using ankle straps:

• Step 1: Secure the ankle strap around your chosen leg and attach it to the low setting on the cable machine.
• Step 2: Stand facing the machine and hold onto a stable surface for balance while positioning your cuffed leg with a slight bend in the knee.
• Step 3: Keeping your torso upright and core engaged, extend your leg straight back in a slow, controlled motion, focusing on contracting your glutes at the peak of the movement.
• Step 4: Gradually return your leg to the starting position while maintaining tension on your glutes.
• Step 5: Complete the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other leg.

Cable Kickback Tips

• Focus on smooth, controlled movements to maximize glute engagement.
• Keep your core tight and maintain proper posture to stabilize your body.
• Squeeze your glutes firmly at the top of each rep for optimal contraction.
• Adjust the cable resistance to suit your strength level, progressing gradually.
• Avoid using momentum to let the resistance work your muscles effectively.
