The Resistance Band Tricep Kickback is a strength training exercise that specifically targets the triceps while also engaging the stabilizing muscles of the shoulder and core. By performing this exercise with a resistance band, you can effectively isolate and strengthen each tricep individually.
First, grab one end of a band in one hand, wrap it around something that won’t move or break and grab the other end in the other hand. Be sure to attach it at about your shoulder height.
You should position yourself facing the anchor point. Bend forward by hinging at your hips. Also, make sure you are far enough away that there is no slack when your elbows are tucked in at your side and your hands pointing towards the floor and your palms facing inwards.
This is the starting position.
From here extend one of your hands behind you, by extending at the elbow until the arm is fully extended or as far as you can. After this, slowly return the arm back down to the starting position. Once you’ve done one arm repeat on the other arm, once you’ve done both you have down one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount.
If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands D-Ring Aids and a Carabiner to make this exercise as safe as possible.
