iStrivefitness.com - DUMBBELL TRICEP KICK BACK

Required items: One dumbbell, flat bench
Major muscles used: Triceps
Movement: Extension of the elbow joint
Technique: Hold the dumbbell in one hand and with the opposite leg, place your knee on the bench with your foot dangling over the edge of the bench. Lean over so that the free hand is resting, palms down, on the bench with a straight (but not locked elbow) arm. Make sure that your abs are tight, and back is straight. Head should be facing the bench, allowing yourself to look up at the mirror in front of you every so often to check form. With the hand with the dumbbell, your elbow should be tucked in to your side and at about a 90 degree angle to start. Contracting the triceps muscle, extend arm out until entire arm is parallel to the floor. Hold, and then slowly lower your forearm and hand back to starting position. (Elbow is at a 90 degree angle.) Repeat and then switch arms. Breathe throughout the entire exercise.
