Tricep Kickback workout



Tricep kickbacks are the king of single arm tricep isolation exercises. Tricep kickbacks are great for hitting your triceps after close grip bench press.Out of all the tricep exercises, the tricep kickback has the biggest reputation for poor technique. If not performed correctly, the tricep kickback will not build your tricep muscles.
Starting Position: With a dumbbell in one hand stand next to a flat bench and position one knee on the bench, keep the other knee bent with the foot flat on the floor. Bend forward from the hips, and place the free hand on the bench. Keep the lower back in neutral and bend so that your upper body is parallel to the floor and the head facing down. Bend the arm holding the dumbbell and raise the elbow past the torso.

Keeping the elbow in place, push the dumbbell back and up by extending the arm backwards. Pause, and slowly return to the starting position. Repeat until the set if finished, then perform with the other arm.
