Exercise Description

The dumbbell tricep kickback exercise targets the back of your arms to build stronger, more defined triceps. It's perfect for shaping your arms and adding real strength.

How To

1. Hold a dumbbell in your right hand and place your left knee and hand on a bench for support 2. Keep your back straight and bring your right elbow up so your upper arm is parallel to the floor 3. Extend your arm back by straightening your elbow, squeezing your tricep at the top 4. Slowly lower the dumbbell tricep kickback weight back to the starting position with control 5. Complete all reps on one side before switching to perform the dumbbell tricep kickback on the other arm

Form Tips

• Keep your upper arm still during the dumbbell tricep kickback - only your forearm should move • Squeeze your tricep hard at the top of each rep for maximum muscle activation • Use a slow, controlled movement - don't swing the weight or use momentum during the dumbbell tricep kickback • Keep your core tight and back straight throughout the entire movement

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and swinging the dumbbell instead of controlling the movement during the dumbbell tricep kickback • Moving the upper arm instead of keeping it fixed parallel to the floor • Rushing through the reps during the dumbbell tricep kickback instead of focusing on proper form and muscle contraction
