How to Perform a Tricep Kickback

A Tricep Kickback is an easy to perform exercise. This is great for shaping the arm.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

1. Bend the knees and bend at the waist. You may rest your forehead on the back of a chair. The arm holding the dumbbell should be at approximately at a ninety degree angle.

2. Bring the arm holding the dumbbell up so that the elbow is slightly above your back.

3. The upper arm from shoulder to elbow will remain stationary during the movement. Only the forearm and hand will move in an upward motion toward the ceiling until the arm is completely straight. This exercise may be done one side at a time or both sides at the same time.
