Repeat.


2 - Tricep Kickbacks

Exercise Steps

Step 1

1. Grab a dumbell in one hand and put the other hand and 1 knee on a flat bench (see pic)
2. Point your elbow as high as you can towards the ceiling while leaving the dumbell hanging by your side
3. Slowly extend your arm until it is as straight as it will go (DO NOT change the position of your elbow!)
4. Pause for a second, then lower back to starting position
5. Repeat steps 3&4 for desired reps
