Cable kickback (glutes)
Legs · Cable
Sets, reps and RIR
Sets3 to 4
Reps8 to 12

Machines and cables hold the path for you, so you can work closer to failure than with free weights.
RIR means reps in reserve: how many you could still have done when you racked it. RIR 2 is two short of failure.
Muscles worked
Primary: Glutes.
Secondary: Hamstrings.
