Dumbbell Tricep Kickback | How to Perform Dumbbell Tricep Kickback | Powerlift Pro App
Start by grabbing a dumbbell with your right hand. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and slightly bend your knees. Hinge forward at the hips, keeping your back straight. Place your left hand on your left thigh or sturdy object for support. This is your starting position.
With your right upper arm parallel to your torso, bend your right elbow to a 90-degree angle, keeping it close to your side. Your forearm should be perpendicular to the ground, with the dumbbell pointing towards the floor.
Begin the movement by straightening your right arm behind you, while keeping your upper arm stationary. Fully extend your elbow, focusing on engaging your triceps muscles. This will cause your forearm to move backward and upward.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement, squeezing your triceps to maximize the contraction.
Slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position by bending your elbow, maintaining control throughout the descent.
Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions on your right arm, and then switch to the left arm.
Important tips:
Keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise.
Avoid swinging or using momentum to lift the weight. Focus on controlled movements.
Breathe out as you extend your arm and breathe in as you lower the dumbbell.
Focus on feeling the tension and contraction in your triceps throughout the exercise.
It’s important to choose an appropriate weight that allows you to maintain proper form and control. Gradually increase the weight as you become comfortable and stronger in the exercise.
