Gymleco Glute Kickback 060 is a machine designed for unilateral leg kickbacks, focusing on the glutes, especially the gluteus maximus. It belongs to the Booty zone and is suitable as a complement to exercises that work the glutes and lower limbs. Each leg is trained separately, which allows you to pay attention to the differences between the sides and maintain a more even execution of the movement.
It is used while kneeling on one leg. The chest and upper body are supported by the pad, the handle helps with stability, and the other leg performs a controlled backward movement against resistance. This setting reduces the need to maintain balance and allows you to focus on the movement in the hip joint. It is advisable to keep the torso stable during the exercise and avoid significant bending in the lumbar region.
The 060 is a plate machine, so the resistance is adjusted using discs. The load should be selected according to the technique and smoothness of the movement, not according to the maximum possible weight. An important feature is the long working range, which provides space for controlled stretching and subsequent engagement of the glutes. The movement should remain smooth in both directions, without jerking or bouncing.
The main advantage of the machine is the simple and clear execution of the exercise. The chest support and handle increase stability, the one-sided adjustment allows for separate work of the right and left legs, and the plate resistance offers the possibility of gradually adjusting the difficulty according to the training plan. The machine can be included after the basic exercises for the lower body or as a separate supplement for training the gluteal muscles. In addition to the gluteus maximus, the muscles of the torso and the standing leg are also involved in stabilization. When returning the leg to the starting position, it is important to maintain control and not let the load freely return.
