Machine Rear Kickback is a beginner isolation push using machine. It loads Glutes.
Muscles worked
- Primary: Glutes
- Secondary: Hamstrings
Setup
- Take machine with a grip you can finish. Chest up, shoulders away from the ears.
How to do it
- Pull the load to the intended contact point. Squeeze Glutes.
- Lower to a full stretch without dumping the shoulders forward.
Coaching cues
- Elbows first, not a wrist yank.
- Keep the torso angle honest.
Common mistakes
