In the Top Ten Glute Exercise Video Series Ian Lauer CSCS and IFBB Men’s Physique Pro and I presented ten exercises which we felt were the most effective for building and tightening up the glutes. Number eight on the list was Cable Kickbacks, which I will describe here.

Put ankle cuffs on. attach one cuff to low pulley cable. stand so you are facing weight stack. hold onto handles for support. kick leg that is attached straight back, keeping leg straight but not locking knee. squeeze that glute. don’t arch back.

Recommended rep range is 12 to 20 repetitions for each leg, 4 to 5 sets total. If you can, work up to 25 repetitions per set on higher rep days.
