Band Triceps Kickback

Description

This exercise involves holding a dumbbell in one hand and bending forward at the waist, while keeping the upper arm close to the body. The arm is then extended backwards, straightening the elbow and contracting the triceps muscle. This movement is repeated for several repetitions before switching to the other arm. Using a resistance band instead of a dumbbell can also be an option for this exercise.
