Ariel_yu on Instagram: "Cable Kickbacks Variations Know the Difference Gluteus Medius (External Rotation): 1. Set the pulley at the bottom. 2. Externally rotate your working leg to 45 degrees for better gluteus medius engagement. 3. Kick at a 45-degree angle to engage the gluteus medius. Gluteus Maximus (Straight Kickback): 1. Set the pulley at or slightly below hip level to ensure a straight kickback. 2. Step down with your working leg for stability. 3. Kick straight back to maximize gluteus ma

Squat University on Instagram: "The science: The resistance band forces abduction (pushing knees outward) and helps maintain hip external rotation, which strongly recruits the glute medius and the upper fibers of the glute maximus (both key players in those actions). This “wakes up” and prioritizes the glutes as the primary hip extensors, reducing the hamstrings’ overcompensation (called synergistic dominance) and shifting neuromuscular control back to the glutes for better activation during the
