glute builder driving one leg back against a cable, standing
the cable pulls forward through the whole range, so the glute stays loaded at
the finish where a bodyweight kickback has nothing left
one leg at a time with your torso upright, so the working glute extends the
hip without the other side or your lower back helping
Execution
Attach an ankle strap to a low pulley and fasten it to one ankle. Face the
stack, hold the frame and stand far enough back that the cable is under tension.
drive the working leg back, leading with your heel
extend the hip until your thigh is in line with your torso
keep your hips square rather than rotating to get further
let the cable draw the leg back forward under control
finish all reps on one side before switching
Stop where your hip stops. Arching your lower back to get more range adds
motion, not tension.
