#Info – Kickback
Kickbacks are excellent for isolating the triceps. Ensure your upper arm stays close to your body and parallel to the floor to maximize effectiveness. A common mistake is using momentum; focus on controlled movements. Start with lighter weights to master form before increasing resistance. To adapt for beginners, perform seated with less weight. For advanced levels, incorporate resistance bands or perform single-arm kickbacks for added challenge. Benefits include improved arm strength and definition, which can enhance performance in other exercises. Always warm up before starting to prevent injury.
