A staple in many strength routines, tricep kickbacks emphasize muscle control and contraction. By isolating the triceps, they help sculpt the back of your arms and build pressing strength.
Instructions
- Stand with a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing your torso.
- Bend your knees slightly and lean forward at the waist until your torso is nearly parallel to the floor.
- Keep your upper arms close to your torso and elbows bent at 90 degrees. This is your starting position.
- Exhale and extend your arms straight back, moving only your forearms.
- Pause at the top, then slowly return to the starting position. Repeat.
