Exercises and muscles targeted

Exercise	Muscles Targeted
Rear Kick — Neutral Foot Angle	Gluteus Maximus (full muscle, primary via hip extension), Hamstrings (Biceps Femoris long head, Semimembranosus, secondary), Erector Spinae (stabiliser — supported by body pad), Gluteus Medius of supporting leg (lateral stabiliser)
Rear Kick — Toes Out (external rotation)	Gluteus Maximus — Lower and Lateral Fibres (external rotation increases lateral glute fibre recruitment, primary), Gluteus Medius — Posterior Fibres (secondary), Hamstrings (secondary)
Rear Kick — Isometric Hold (peak extension)	Gluteus Maximus (sustained isometric at full hip extension — maximum peak contraction), Hamstrings (co-contraction at full hip extension), Erector Spinae (stabiliser through hold)
Rear Kick — Slow Eccentric	Gluteus Maximus (eccentric loading through full hip flexion return — maximum hypertrophy stimulus from stretch-loaded eccentric), Hamstrings (eccentric), Core (stabiliser through controlled lowering)
Rear Kick — High Arc (above hip level)	Gluteus Maximus — Upper Fibres (driving the leg above hip level recruits upper glute fibres more than a standard horizontal kick), Erector Spinae (increased lumbar extension demand — keep supported by body pad), Gluteus Medius (secondary)

The standing rear kick is the most direct glute isolation exercise available on a plate-loaded machine because the movement is pure hip extension — the same muscle action that the glutes perform during every lower body compound movement — without any knee flexion contribution from the hamstrings or knee extension contribution from the quads. Unilateral training also reveals and addresses left-right glute strength asymmetries that bilateral machines mask, which makes the DSH007 a useful complement to bilateral hip thrust, squat, and leg press work in a complete glute development programme.

Who this machine is built for

Serious Home Gym Builders
The DSH007 covers the one training movement that no other lower body machine in a standard home gym provides: unilateral isolated glute extension in a standing position at plate-loaded progressive resistance. At 65.9" × 46.0" it fits alongside squat machines and a hip thruster without occupying excessive floor space, and the 331 lb single-horn capacity uses the same Olympic plates as the rest of the setup.

Bodybuilders and Physique Athletes
Glute shape, roundness, and lateral fullness are all targets that require isolated hip extension training at controlled loads to develop with the precision that bilateral compound exercises cannot offer. The standing rear kick on the DSH007 trains the glute through the full hip extension arc from deep flexion to full extension, with the foot angle variable adjusting which portion of the gluteus maximus carries the primary load. The slow eccentric variation produces the stretch-loaded hypertrophy stimulus in the glute that hip thrusters at full extension cannot generate.

Commercial Gym Owners and Operators
A plate-loaded rear kick machine covers the glute training category that cable kickback attachments approximate but cannot match at equivalent plate-loaded resistance. Members who train glutes seriously use the exercise consistently, and a dedicated machine with a body pad, calf support, and proper arm arc is significantly more effective and comfortable than a cable pulley setup for the same movement. The DSH007's matte black DSH series finish and 254 lbs net weight anchor it credibly alongside the premium DSH plate-loaded range.

Female Athletes and Physique Competitors
Unilateral glute isolation is the exercise category most consistently requested in physique-focused programming because it directly addresses the lower glute sweep and lateral fullness that bilateral compound exercises develop more generally. The padded calf support and 20° body pad on the DSH007 make the exercise accessible and stable at higher plate loads than cable kickback alternatives, allowing progressive overload that produces genuine glute mass development over a training cycle.

Physical Therapists and Sports Medicine Practitioners
Isolated unilateral hip extension in a machine-guided environment is used in glute activation and hip extension strengthening protocols for athletes returning from hip flexor tightness, anterior pelvic tilt, and lower limb rehabilitation programmes. The body pad and calf support stabilise the pelvis and supporting leg so the clinician can assess and train the working glute in isolation without compensatory patterns from the lower back or opposite hip. Exercise selection and loading must follow the clinical programme for each patient's specific condition.

University and College Athletic Departments
Single-leg hip extension strength is directly relevant to sprint mechanics, jump takeoff power, and cutting direction change. The DSH007 develops this strength pattern in isolation at loads appropriate for each athlete's glute capacity independent of their overall lower body compound strength, which allows targeted glute strengthening alongside broader athletic strength programming.

How to setup and use

Setting Up the DSH007 Rear Kick

Load Olympic plates onto the single weight horn within the 331 lb maximum capacity. Start conservatively on the first session to establish the correct load for isolated glute training without lower back compensation.
Stand on the dual-angle footplate facing the body pad and lean forward so the chest and torso rest against the 20° inclined wide body pad at a comfortable forward angle.
Grip both angled auxiliary handles for upper body stability, confirming the grip angle feels natural rather than requiring the wrists or shoulders to compensate for an awkward handle position.
Place the supporting leg's calf on the padded leg pad for stability and load the body weight through this leg.
Position the working leg behind the footplate at the starting position where the hip is in natural flexion and the arm frame is at the bottom of its arc.
Set the foot angle of the working leg on the footplate: neutral for general gluteus maximus training, toes out for lateral and lower glute fibre emphasis.

Performing the Exercise

From the starting position with the working leg down and the hip in slight flexion, drive the leg backward and upward by contracting the glutes and extending the hip against the weight horn resistance.
Focus the effort on the glute rather than the lower back — the body pad should absorb any tendency to arch the lumbar and keep the torso in a stable forward-lean position throughout the kick.
Drive through to full hip extension at the top of the arc, squeezing the glute at peak contraction for one to two seconds before beginning the return.
Lower the working leg back to the starting position under control over at least two seconds, allowing the glute to lengthen through the eccentric return before the next rep.
Complete all reps on one leg before switching to the other leg, resetting the body position and confirming the calf pad and body pad contact before beginning the second side.
Track the load and reps per side across sessions to identify and address any left-right glute strength difference.

The Dynasty Fitness DSH007 Rear Kick is a plate-loaded standing glute kickback machine that trains the gluteus maximus through unilateral hip extension in a standing forward-leaning position, delivering a targeted glute isolation stimulus that bilateral squat and hip thrust machines cannot replicate at the same muscle length and movement angle. The resistance arm follows the natural arc of the hip joint via two ball bearings, and a 20° inclined wide body pad with angled auxiliary handles keeps the torso stable and the hip correctly positioned through the full kick arc without requiring the user to manage balance independently. A padded calf support anchors the supporting leg and eliminates lower body compensation that allows the glute to work in pure isolation, and an oversized dual-angle anti-slip footplate accommodates different external hip rotation positions to target different portions of the gluteus maximus. Built from PT60×120×2.5mm steel with a 331 lb single weight horn capacity in matte black, the DSH007 is built for commercial gyms, glute-focused training studios, and serious home gym setups where dedicated plate-loaded unilateral glute isolation is a core programming priority.

20° inclined wide body pad and angled auxiliary handles position the torso at the correct forward lean for full hip extension range so the glute drives through the complete arc without the lower back compensating at the top of the kick
Padded calf support anchors the supporting leg throughout the kickback so the gluteus maximus of the working leg reaches failure before stabiliser fatigue in the support structures cuts the set short
Dual-angle anti-slip footplate supports different external hip rotation positions so the lateral and medial portions of the gluteus maximus can be targeted with subtle foot angle adjustments within the same exercise

Key Features

Hip Joint Arc on Ball Bearing Pivot

The arm frame travels through the rear kick arc on two ball bearings at the pivot shaft, following the natural path of the hip joint through hip extension from the starting flexed position to full extension. The ball bearing pivot keeps friction consistent and low through the full arc at any load within the 331 lb single horn capacity, so the glute works against the plate resistance rather than against mechanical resistance from the arm frame itself. Two safety bush assemblies limit the arm frame travel to the designed arc range, preventing the leg from being driven beyond the safe hip extension position at the top of the kick.

20° Inclined Wide Body Pad

The body pad is inclined at 20° from vertical, which positions the torso at the forward lean angle that places the hip joint in the ideal orientation for full hip extension range without the lower back having to arch to complete the kick. The wide pad surface accommodates different shoulder widths and body types without requiring pad width adjustment. The 20° incline is specifically chosen to increase hip joint mobility through the kick arc compared to a more upright stance, which extends the range of motion available to the gluteus maximus and improves the quality of each rep.

Padded Calf Support

The leg pad on the leg pad frame provides a cushioned contact point for the supporting leg's calf or shin during the rear kick, keeping the support leg anchored in a fixed position throughout the set. Without this anchoring, the support leg tends to shift or compensate as the working leg drives through the kick, which introduces hip and lower back movement that reduces the isolation quality of each rep. The calf pad allows the working glute to reach genuine muscular failure rather than the set ending because the support structures are too fatigued or uncomfortable to maintain position.

Ergonomic Auxiliary Handles

Two grips on the arm pad frame are angled to match the natural wrist and forearm position during the forward-lean standing posture on the body pad. The correct grip angle allows the arms to brace lightly against the handles for stability without requiring the shoulders or wrists to compensate for a handle that does not align with the natural hand position. This keeps the upper body relaxed and focused on stability rather than becoming a tension source that distracts from glute contraction quality through the kick.

Dual-Angle Anti-Slip Footplate

The footplate is designed across two surface angles that support different external rotation positions of the working leg during the rear kick. External rotation of the hip during the kick shifts the primary load toward the lateral and lower fibres of the gluteus maximus and into the posterior fibres of the gluteus medius, providing a different glute emphasis from the same machine without changing the exercise setup. The anti-slip surface prevents foot sliding on the footplate through the drive phase of each rep, which is important for maintaining consistent foot angle and load direction through the full kick arc.

Q: How is the rear kick machine different from a cable kickback for glute training?
A: The DSH007 delivers plate-loaded progressive resistance through a guided arc that follows the natural hip joint path, while a cable kickback produces a resistance vector that changes direction relative to the working leg through the kick arc depending on the cable attachment angle. The plate-loaded machine also allows meaningfully heavier loading than cable kickback setups, and the body pad and calf support on the DSH007 provide a stable base that cable stations cannot replicate. The result is a more consistent, heavier, and more isolated glute stimulus per set.

Q: Why does foot angle affect which part of the glute works?
A: The gluteus maximus has multiple fibre orientations across its broad surface. External rotation of the leg during the kick rotates the femur outward, which changes the alignment of the muscle fibres relative to the direction of movement and shifts the primary recruitment toward the lateral and lower fibres of the gluteus maximus along with the posterior fibres of the gluteus medius. Training across both neutral and externally rotated foot positions covers the full fibre variety of the gluteus maximus rather than consistently loading the same fibres through the same angle.

Q: How should I set the load for each leg?
A: Train the weaker leg first at your intended working weight and match the reps on the stronger leg. If the strength difference between sides is significant, run the same weight on both sides but allow the stronger leg to stop at the weaker side's rep count for a period of weeks until symmetry improves. Do not increase the plate load on the stronger side to chase a higher rep count — address the asymmetry first, then progress both sides together.

Q: Does the body pad need adjustment for different user heights?
A: The 20° inclined wide body pad accommodates a range of heights without mechanical adjustment by the wide pad surface covering different points of torso contact for shorter and taller users. Taller users lean against the pad higher on the torso and shorter users lower, with the pad's width providing stable contact in both cases. If a user finds the forward lean angle too aggressive for their proportions, they can adjust their standing position on the footplate slightly to alter the torso-to-pad contact point before loading the machine.

Q: What plates work best on the single weight horn for rear kick training?
A: Start with smaller diameter plates such as 5 lb, 10 lb, and 25 lb denominations rather than jumping to large diameter plates that extend far from the arm frame. The working loads for rear kick training are lower than compound lower body exercises, and the smaller plates keep the plate geometry compact and the loading balanced close to the arm pivot. The Dynasty Fitness Urethane Grip Plates include the full denomination range needed to progress load in small increments on the single horn.

Q: What Dynasty Fitness machines pair with the DSH007 for a complete glute programme?
A: The DSH007 covers unilateral glute isolation through standing hip extension. Pair it with the Hip Thruster DPB401 or Hip Thruster DSH031 for bilateral horizontal hip extension that trains the glute at a different body angle and muscle length. The 3D Seated Hip Abduction DSH062 adds hip abduction for gluteus medius development that neither the rear kick nor the hip thruster address directly. For compound glute work alongside isolation training, the V-Squat DSH038 reverse-facing position, the Pendulum Squat DSH033, and the Hack Squat DSH036 all produce significant gluteus maximus stimulus through the bilateral squat pattern.
