Band Tricep Kickbacks

How to do it

1. Stand on the middle of a looped band with your feet hip-width apart and hold one end in each hand.
2. Hinge at the hips until your torso is nearly parallel to the floor, keeping a long spine.
3. Pin both upper arms to your sides with the elbows bent about 90 degrees.
4. Extend both elbows until the arms are straight and the band is taut behind you.
5. Pause briefly at lockout without raising the upper arms or shrugging.
6. Bend the elbows under control back to the start and repeat.

Common mistakes

• Letting the elbows drop, which shortens the effective range and turns the finish into a swing.
• Raising the upper arms as you extend, which shifts work off the triceps.
• Rounding the low back in the hinge instead of bracing the trunk.
• Using a band so heavy that the elbows never reach a true lockout.
