The Dumbbell Tricep Kickback is an isolation exercise that targets the triceps muscles, which are located on the back of the upper arms. This exercise is effective for strengthening and toning the triceps, helping to improve arm definition and overall upper body strength.
Let's get started by grabbing one of your dumbbells. Then hinge from the hips until your body is almost parallel to the floor and keep your elbow tucked into your side and bent so the hand is facing the floor and the palm facing inward.
This is the starting position.
From here raise and extend your arms behind you until they are straight.
Once done, return the dumbbell back down safely to the starting position. This is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount. Once you’ve done one arm, if required in the program and you are able to do so, repeat the exercise and the repetition with the other arm.
If you find yourself falling sideways it may be better to hold a dumbbell in the opposite hand by your side to counteract the weight.
If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands Gripping Aids to make this exercise as safe as possible.
