Triceps Kickback

Professional Rationale
Well known prime mover exercise to strengthen the triceps.

Client Rationale
This is a strengthening exercise for your triceps muscle. This is a muscle that allows you to straighten the elbow. The triceps muscle is mostly a prime mover which means it lifts heavier weight - it is a mover not a thinker. Typically you will use a weight with this exercise.



Instructions

• Lean over the back of a chair or countertop.
• Start with elbow tucked right into your side.
• Extend elbow, flexing the triceps.
• Return in a slow and controlled manner.
• Do not move elbow away from your side.
• Do not move balistically.
