Glute kickback (machine)

Legs · Machine

Sets, reps and RIR

Sets3 to 4
Reps8 to 12
RIR1 to 2

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.

Estimate your one-rep max

Epley's formula, from a set you have actually done. It is an estimate, and it drifts above eight reps, so keep the input between one and twelve.
