Target Muscle: Triceps Brachii
Dumbbell Tricep kickback Overview
This is an isolation technique in which you target your triceps with a pushing technique instead of pulling weight (most exercises are pulling exercises). This is an exclusive tricep exercise that bears fruit quite soon if done right.
How to Do It
- Stand on the left side of the bench, place your right knee and right hand on the bench.
- You will have to bend over at this point.
- With a neutral grip, pick up the dumbbell with your left hand.
- Keep your back straight throughout.
- Tuck in your left arm close to your torso and bend at the elbow, forming a 90-degree angle with your upper arm and forearm.
- This is the starting position.
- Moving only the elbow, raise the dumbbell behind you until your arm is fully stretched.
- Stop, and lower the dumbbell back to the starting position.
- Repeat this movement as many times as you can.
Tips on Dumbbell Tricep Kickback
- Keep your back straight for better tricep engagement.
- Try to engage your triceps intentionally.
