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, securely attach a band to something that won’t move or break. Be sure to attach it at 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 your hand 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. This is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount. Once you’ve done all the reps on one arm, if required in the program and you are able to do so, repeat the exercise and the repetitions with the other arm.
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.
Exercise Tips
Focus on moving the weight with your triceps, keeping control of the weight as you slowly return back to the starting position.
Keep your body as still as possible, moving only your forearms.
