5 Best Tricep Exercises You Must Have In Your Workout Routine

#4 Dumbbell Kickbacks

The dumbbell kickback exercise helps in muscle activation. This exercise particularly works on the principle of going against gravity to move the weight.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand by holding a dumbbell in each hand and drop your hips back. Pull the elbow up to torso level.

Step 2: Now extend the arms behind you by keeping the elbow in the same position and focus on contracting the triceps.

Step 3: Next lower your forearms down to about 90 degrees and repeat the exercise.

Important Tips: Do 3 sets of 12 reps each. Try to keep the upper arm stationary against the body throughout the exercise.
