Exercise Description

The one arm bent over dumbbell kickback targets your triceps to build stronger, more defined arms. It isolates the back of your arms better than most exercises.

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 let your right arm hang down with the dumbbell 3. Pull your elbow up to your side and keep it there - this is your starting position for the one arm bent over dumbbell kickback 4. Extend your forearm back until your arm is straight, squeezing your tricep at the top 5. Lower the weight back to the starting position and repeat for all reps before switching to your other arm

Form Tips

• Keep your elbow locked in place throughout the entire one arm bent over dumbbell kickback movement • Squeeze your tricep hard at the top of each rep when your arm is fully extended • Use a weight that lets you control the movement - don't swing or use momentum • Keep your core tight and back straight to avoid putting stress on your lower back

Common Mistakes

• Moving your elbow during the one arm bent over dumbbell kickback instead of keeping it fixed at your side • Using too much weight and swinging the dumbbell instead of controlling the movement with your tricep • Not fully extending your arm at the top, which cuts the range of motion short and reduces effectiveness
