The Workout
Start with this as your primary movement. Warm up with 2 lighter sets first.
Form cues
- Attach an ankle strap to the low pulley on the leg furthest from the machine.
- Stand tall, holding the frame for balance, and brace your core.
- Lift your outside leg directly to the side in a smooth arc — lead with the heel.
Finish strong — take the last set close to failure.
Form cues
- Attach an ankle strap to the low pulley and face the machine, holding the frame for balance.
- Keep a slight bend in your standing leg and brace your core.
- Kick the working leg straight back by squeezing the glute — do not arch your back.
Why This Workout Works
This workout is built around the principles of endurance training. Use lighter loads (40-60% 1RM) with high reps. Minimize rest between sets to challenge your cardiovascular system. Circuit training and supersets are particularly effective. Focus on maintaining form even as fatigue accumulates.
Training Parameters
- Rep Range: 15-25 reps — designed for sustained muscular effort
- Rest Periods: 30-45 seconds — short rest to maximize calorie burn
- Sets Per Exercise: 2-3 sets — optimized for endurance
Glutes Training Tips
- *Hip thrusts allow the highest glute activation of any exercise — load them heavy.
- *Squeeze at the top of every rep for a full second to maximize the contraction.
- *Wider stances in squats and deadlifts shift more work to the glutes.
