Triceps kickback – how to do it right
Upper arm stays still, extend forearm back.
This is how Stickfreed, our glowing stick figure, shows you the exercise on your TV – here the start, middle and end position. In the app he turns slowly so you can see everything.
How to do it
- Hinge forward with a flat back.
- Upper arm stays by your side.
- Straighten your forearm back.
How long?
40–45 seconds at a steady pace: slow on the way down, strong on the way up. 2–4 rounds. With dumbbells; BLOX remembers your weight.
If something niggles
Back acting up? Then do Biceps curls instead – BLOX swaps it automatically if you mention it at the start. Stop if it hurts; if you have complaints or pre-existing conditions, check with a doctor or physio first.
