How to: Band kickback
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the band with both hands.
- Bend your knees slightly and lean forward from your hips.
- Keep your elbows close to your body and extend your arms back, squeezing your triceps at the top.
- Slowly return to the starting position and repeat.
Common Mistakes
- Swinging the arm instead of controlling the movement.
- Not keeping the elbow stable.
- Using too much weight and losing form.
Modifications
- Use a lighter band for those new to resistance training.
- Perform the exercise seated to reduce strain on the back.
Tips
- Keep your elbow close to your side during the movement to isolate the triceps.
- Control the band's tension for better muscle engagement.
