Dumbbell Tricep Kickback
A step-by-step form guide from the Ægir Iron exercise library: how to do the lift, what to watch for, and the muscles it trains.
- Equipment
- Dumbbell
- Cable
HOW TO PERFORM
- Hinge forward at the hips with a flat back, supporting yourself on a bench if you like.
- Bring the upper arm up alongside the torso and hold it there, elbow bent.
- Extend the forearm straight back until the arm is locked out, then return under control.
FORM TIPS
- The upper arm never moves. If the shoulder swings back to help, the weight is too heavy for the movement, which is a light one by nature.
