Tricep Dumbbell Kickback
A classic tricep workout for targeting the muscle with a dumbbell.
Instructions
- Stand holding a dumbbell in each hand with palms facing your torso and a slight bend in your knees.
- Bend forward at the hips, ensuring your back is straight until your torso is almost parallel to the floor.
- Keep your upper arms close to your body and parallel to the floor as you bend your elbows at a 90-degree angle to hold the weights at your side.
- Exhale as you extend your arms back, keeping your upper arms stationary and using only your forearms to lift the weights behind you.
- Inhale as you slowly bring the weights back to the starting position with control.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Swinging the arms or using momentum instead of controlled movements.
- Allowing the elbows to flare out instead of keeping them tucked to the body.
- Using too much weight which can cause strain or loss of proper form.
