Bench Supported Cable Glute Kickbacks | Exercise Demo Videos The Bench Supported Cable Glute Kickback is an isolation exercise for targeting the glutes (max). This variation of a kickback allows for a controlled range of motion and continuous tension on the glutes, helping to build strength, size, and muscle definition in the posterior chain. It also allows the standing leg to rest, minimizing fatigue and reducing workload on the supporting leg. Tips for Proper Form: - I like to slightly move the bench between sides so that the side of the working leg is on the edge of the cable. This isn't necessary but i find it helps me if the cable isn't slamming into the front of the bench. - Perform in a slow, controlled manner to maximize glute engagement. - Concentrate on squeezing the glute as you lift to enhance muscle activation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Build Your Hottest, Fittest Body In Your 30’s !! 🍑 ➡️ I teach career-driven women HOW to train, fuel & keep weight off Get started today 👇🏼 https://www.buildingyourbodycoaching.com/inquire Try my free Glute Guide & 4 week workout program: https://www.buildingyourbodycoaching.com/get-our-glute-guide Get Connected 📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachedbykales Client Results Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/buildingyourbodycoaching Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachedbykales

Banded Dips | Step-by-Step Instructions Banded dips are a great exercise for targeting the triceps, chest, and shoulders, while using a resistance band to assist with the movement, reducing the load on your shoulders and making the exercise more accessible for various fitness levels. Instructions 1. Setup: Attach a resistance band to a dip station. Adjust the band so it provides sufficient assistance. Position yourself in front of the dip station by using a box to step from, and place the band under your feet or knees for support. 2. Grab the dip handles with a neutral grip (palms facing inward). Step to position yourself so your arms are fully extended and your body is in an upright position. Your feet should be off the ground if using the band under your feet. 3. Engage your core and maintain a slight lean forward. Slowly lower your body by bending your elbows, aiming to bring your upper arms parallel to the floor or slightly below. 4. Keep your elbows close to your body and focus on pushing through the palms of your hands to engage your triceps, chest, and shoulders. 5. Exhale and press through the dip handles to lift your body back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms while maintaining control and stability. 6. Ensure that you lower and lift your body with controlled, deliberate movements to maximize muscle activation and minimize strain on the shoulders. ** Adjust the band for more or less assistance based on your strength and fitness level. Tips for Proper Form - Body Position: Keep your body upright with a slight lean forward to engage the chest and triceps effectively. - Elbow Path: Keep your elbows close to your sides to minimize shoulder strain and maximize triceps engagement. - Avoid Using Momentum: Focus on a smooth and controlled movement throughout the exercise to avoid swinging or using momentum. - Full Range of Motion: Lower yourself as far as you can comfortably go, ideally until your upper arms are parallel to the floor, then press up fully. - Band Assistance: Ensure the band provides adequate support without taking over the movement; adjust if necessary for the right balance. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is Moves You Training - In-person and Online Strength and Nutrition Coaching, leading men & women to build strong bodies, minds & lifestyles.

How to perform the Glute Medius Cable Kickback tutorial with voiceover. Enjoy! This video breaks down how to properly perform a glute medius cable kickback so you can feel the correct muscle working and avoid turning this into a lower back or momentum driven movement. Top Cues: 1. Have a slight lean forward and brace your body against the cable column or another stable structure to keep torso stable. 2. Kick back on a diagonal with a straighter leg to bias the glute medius instead of the glute max. 3. Keep the core braced and pelvis stable, we want very little movement from there. Control the lift by squeezing the side glute to lift the leg up and slowly control the return on every rep.

The Pin Squat is a variation designed to slow down the eccentric and eliminate the stretch reflex at the bottom of the squat to improve technique, build strength, and increase time under tension for increased muscle engagement. Instructions: 1. Setup: Set the safety pins in a squat rack at a height where the barbell will touch when your thighs are about parallel to the ground during your squat. To check, squat with your body weight standing directly next to one rack and place the pin where your shoulder sits on the rack. 2. Load the barbell and position it on your rear delts and traps, similar to a regular squat setup. Unrack the bar & step back, standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out. 3. Engage your core and take a big breath to brace. Keep your back flat. Begin by pushing your hips back and driving your knees outward. 4. Lower yourself slowly, aiming for a controlled descent, ensuring both sides of the bar reach the pins at the same time. 5. Touch the pins gently with the barbell, maintaining tension through your body. Avoid relaxing or letting the weight fully rest on the pins. 6. Engage the glutes and hamstrings to drive through your midfoot and stand back up to the starting position. 7. Repeat for the recommended number of reps, focusing on slow, controlled movements and maintaining control throughout. Tips for Proper Form: - Focus on lowering the bar slowly and evenly to the pins. This helps maintain balance, control and better muscle engagement. - Stay Tight at the Bottom: Keep your core, glutes, and quads engaged when you reach the pins to avoid losing tension in the bottom position. - Keep your weight distributed over your midfoot throughout the entire lift to maintain balance and avoid leaning too far forward or backward. Substitutions: - Box Squat - Paused Squat ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is Moves You Training - In-person and Online Strength and Nutrition Coaching, leading men & women to build strong bodies, minds & lifestyles.

Smith Machine Squat - Glute Bias | Step-by-Step Instructions w/ voiceover, Enjoy! 00:00 - Exercise demo 00:14 - Muscle emphasis & resistance profile 00:30 - FAQ: Should I Squeeze at the top? 01:19 - Setup 02:10 - Execution 04:26 - Using Safety Bars About this exercise: The glute–biased Smith Machine squat is designed to shift more tension toward the gluteus max by focusing on sitting the hips back (increasing hip flexion), keeping the shins more vertical, and using a slight forward torso lean. This position loads the glutes in their lengthened position. Tips for Proper Form: • Set your feet slightly in front of the bar to allow your hips to travel back • Think “hips back first,” not “knees forward,” to shift loading toward the glutes • Keep your shins relatively vertical and allow the torso to lean naturally • Aim for 90* at the bottom but only lower as deep as you can maintain a neutral pelvis without butt wink • At the bottom, drive through your whole foot and push the hips forward to stand • Maintain a stacked ribcage and pelvis throughout the movement • No need to squeeze or thrust at the top. Tension on the glutes is minimal there Exercise Substitutions: 1. Barbell Low-Bar Back Squat 2. Dumbbell Squat (Glute Bias) 3. 45* Leg Press - Glute Bias 4.
