Exercise Description

The tricep kickback exercise isolates and strengthens the back of your arms. It builds defined triceps and improves arm extension power for daily activities.

How To

1. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, hinge forward at your hips with knees slightly bent 2. Keep your upper arms parallel to the floor and elbows tucked close to your sides 3. Extend your forearms back by straightening your elbows, squeezing your triceps at the top 4. Hold the tricep kickback position for one second, feeling the muscle contract 5. Slowly lower the weights back to starting position and repeat for desired reps

Form Tips

• Keep your upper arms still throughout the tricep kickback - only your forearms should move • Squeeze your triceps hard at the top of each rep for maximum muscle activation • Use a controlled tempo - don't swing the weights or use momentum during the movement • Maintain a straight back and engaged core throughout the entire tricep kickback exercise

Common Mistakes

• Moving your upper arms or shoulders instead of isolating the triceps during the kickback • Using weights that are too heavy, causing poor form and reduced tricep kickback effectiveness • Rushing through reps without proper control or muscle squeeze at the top position
