Smith Machine Kickback

The Smith machine kickback is an effective exercise for targeting the glutes. Here’s how to do it:

1. Position the barbell at a low height on the Smith machine.
2. Stand facing the bar, with one foot under the bar and the other leg slightly behind.
3. Grip the bar with both hands for stability.
4. Extend your leg back, lifting the bar with the bottom of your foot, keeping your leg straight.
5. Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement.
6. Slowly return to the starting position.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions on one leg before switching to the other.
