November -- Bent-Over Tricep Kickback

Want to have great arms, then try this exercise!  It works and strengthens the triceps (back of the arms), which results in a more defined look.  You can also do this with cables. 

  • Hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing in, stand with feet hip-width apart.
  • Bend knees and hinge forward from hips until torso is parallel to the floor.
  • Bend arms to 90 degrees, upper arms parallel to your back, knuckles pointing down.
  • Contract (draw in) abdominals and lengthen tailbone to maintain a neutral spine.
  • Maintain shoulder and upper-arm position as you straighten arms and extend weights behind you.
  • Bend elbows and rotate hands in to lower weights to starting position, then repeat.
  • Do 3 sets of 12-15 repetitions.

 

Tip On Form:  Don’t round your spine or shoulders, forcing your arms to go higher than your back.
