Triceps Dumbbell Kickback
Triceps Dumbbell Kickback
Set up for the dumbbell tricep kickback by placing a flat bench in front of you and positioning a dumbbell on the left-hand side of the bench.
Position yourself on the left side of the bench, resting your right knee and right hand on the bench for support.
Using a neutral grip, pick up the dumbbell with your left hand while maintaining a straight back and looking forward.
Keep your left upper arm close to your torso and bend your elbow, creating a 90-degree angle between your upper arm and forearm. This is your starting position.
Moving only at the elbow joint, extend your left arm behind you until it is fully straightened.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement, and then slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position.
Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, and then switch to your right arm to perform the exercise on the opposite side.
Tips
Maintain a neutral head position with your eyes facing forward to help keep your back aligned and straight.
Concentrate on contracting your triceps to move the weight, and maintain control as you gradually lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
Minimize body movement by stabilizing your body and focusing on isolating the movement to your forearms.
