The Booty Builder Kickback in the Booty Zone at ePORT Mall is a machine designed for the isolated movement of kicking the leg back. The specific model is called the Booty Builder Selectorized Kick Back. The main goal is to train the gluteus maximus, while depending on the movement setting and foot position, the gluteus medius and the back of the thighs can also be involved.

The exercise is performed standing, with support on the handles and stabilizing parts of the machine. The working leg is guided through the cuff and the movement is directed backwards, while the other leg remains on the support platform. The elevated platform provides space for the leg to move freely without catching the foot on the floor. The handles help maintain a more stable torso position, which makes it easier to focus on the movement in the hip joint.

The main advantages include guided movement and easy resistance adjustment using the built-in weight system. The machine does not require manipulation of discs or complex pulley adjustments, so it is suitable for quick inclusion in training. The stable design also reduces the need to maintain balance compared to free or cable variants of the dip. This allows you to pay more attention to the range of motion, pelvic position and controlled return of the leg.
Kickback can be included at the beginning of a workout as an activation exercise or at the end as an additional set after squats, hip thrusts or other lower body exercises. With a straighter leg, the emphasis is mainly on the gluteus maximus. With a bent leg or a slight change in direction of movement, the perceived load on the glutes and hamstrings can be changed. Control is crucial, not swinging and excessive range.
When using it, it is advisable to adjust the body position so that the torso remains stable and the pelvis does not rotate unnecessarily during the repetition. The movement is performed smoothly to both sides, with adequate resistance and without losing control in the final phase.
