Cable Glute Kick (Standing, Strap) — form guide
Gluteus Maximus (isolation). Equipment: Cable + Ankle Strap. Difficulty: Beginner.
TEMPO
1-2-2-1
Same purpose as the kickback variant but with a deeper hip extension — better squeeze and stretch in one rep.
Cues
- Stand facing the cable column, slight forward lean
- Ankle strap on working leg
- Drive heel back and up — full hip extension
- Squeeze 2s at peak
Common mistakes
- Hyperextending lower back to lift higher
- Rotating hips
Injury notes
Glute isolation without spinal load. Friendly for LBP.
Progression
Add 1–2.5kg/stack when 15 strict reps land each side.
