Upper BodyTriceps
Tricep Kick Back
The tricep kick back isolates the back of the upper arm by extending the elbow from a hinged position, making it one of the most effective exercises for toning the triceps.
Equipment: Dumbbells
1 / 9
Step-by-step instructions
- 1
Stand with feet hip-width apart and hinge forward at the hips, keeping your back flat and core tight.
- 2
Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your upper arms pinned close to your sides and elbows bent at 90 degrees.
- 3
Keeping your upper arms stationary, extend both arms straight back until they are fully extended.
- 4
Squeeze the triceps at the top, then slowly return to the starting position.
- 5
Repeat.
Notes
Keep your upper arms parallel to the floor and avoid swinging the weights. The movement should come entirely from the elbow joint.
