The Dumbbell Kickback is a strength training exercise that targets the triceps muscles. It is a simple yet effective exercise that can help tone and build muscle in the back of the arms.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell Kickback, follow these steps:1. Start by holding a dumbbell in each hand and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Bend your upper body forward at the waist, keeping your back straight and parallel to the ground.
3. Keep your elbows close to your sides and your upper arms perpendicular to the ground.
4. Extend your arms straight back behind you, fully extending your elbows and squeezing your triceps at the top of the movement.
5. Hold for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the weights back to starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise, focusing on engaging the triceps muscles and controlling the movement. Start with a lighter weight to ensure proper technique before gradually increasing the weight as you build strength.
