TRICEPS

Dumbbell Kickbacks

BeginnerDumbbell

A triceps isolation exercise done bent over, extending the arm straight back to fully contract the muscle. Using dumbbells keeps each side accountable and rules out a stronger arm compensating. The movement is simple enough for beginners, with plenty of room to progress as you get stronger.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Hold a dumbbell in each hand and stand with feet about hip-width apart, knees slightly bent.

  2. 2

    Brace your core and hinge your hips back until your torso is angled forward about 45 degrees, back flat.

  3. 3

    Set your upper arms slightly behind you with elbows bent so the dumbbells hang under your elbows.

  4. 4

    Extend your arms straight back by contracting the triceps.

  5. 5

    Hold briefly at full extension, keeping your elbows fixed in place rather than letting them drop.

  6. 6

    Return the dumbbells slowly under control, keeping the movement smooth and swing-free.
