Triceps kickback

Execution

  1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart.
  2. Bend your knees and lean forward with your upper body.
  3. Keep a dumbbell in each hand and bend your elbows so the weights are in front of your chest.
  4. Now stretch the arms to kick back the weights. Your upper arm should stay in line with your upper body, only your lower arm is moving.
  5. Bend the elbow to bring the weights back in front of your chest and repeat.

Points of attention

  • Bend your knees
  • Keep your chest lifted and a straight spine.
  • Slowly move down and lift with power.

Variations
