How to perform Bent Over Dumbbell Tricep Kickbacks
How to perform
Exercise Description
Place one knee and the same-side hand on a flat bench for support. Hold a dumbbell
in your opposite hand with a neutral grip (palm facing inward), and keep your back flat and
parallel to the floor.
Raise your working arm so your upper arm is in line with your torso and elbow bent at 90
degrees. Keep your elbow close to your side and stationary throughout the movement.
Straighten your arm by extending the elbow, pushing the dumbbell back until your arm is fully
extended. Squeeze your triceps at the top of the movement.
Slowly bend your elbow to return to the starting position. Repeat for the desired reps, then
switch arms.
Exercise Tips
Place your other hand on the bench
for support.
Keep your elbow fixed at a point and
avoid moving your shoulder.
Keep your muscles active, and don't let
the dumbbell fall freely while returning.
