Tricep Kickback

Think you've got strong tricep muslces? See how much weight you can move for 10 reps of tricep kickbacks! Tricep kickbacks are the king of single arm tricep isolation exercises! Tricep kickbacks are great for hitting your triceps after some big heavy skullcrushers or close grip banch press. On this page we show you how to perform a tricep kickback using strict technique.

Out of all the tricep exercises on this site, the tricep kickback has the biggest reputation for poor technique. If not performed correctly, the tricep kickback WILL NOT build your tricep muscles. Read the tricep kickback information below carefully before hitting the gym. Focus on technique and kickbacks will blast your triceps!

Tricep Kickback
Exercise Name:	Tricep Kickback
Equipment Used:	Bench, 1 dumbell
Muscles Worked:	Triceps
Variations:	None
How To Do:	Grab a dumbell in one hand and put the other hand and 1 knee on a flat bench (see pic) Point your elbow as high as you can towards the ceiling while leaving the dumbell hanging by your side Slowly extend your arm until it is as straight as it will go (DO NOT change the position of your elbow!) Pause for a second, then lower back to starting position Repeat steps 3&4 for desired reps IMPORTANT: Your upper arm and elbow should not move at all during the enter set. This is very important! If you cant do a complete set without moving your upper arm/elbow drop the weight off.

Good technique tips:	Keep your elbow as high as possible throughout the whole movement. DO NOT move your elbow as you move the dumbell! Also, make sure you extend your arm fully - no cheating! To hit your tricep muscles that little bit harder, pause for 2 seconds at the top of the tricep kickback.
