A tricep kick-back is an exercise that isolates the tricep musles, and is a great tricep workout. I would say that its the second best tricep exercise. USE CAUTION IF YOU HAVE LOWER BACK OR ELBOW PROBLEMS. Hold a dumbbell in your right hand and stand next to the long side of a bench. Lean forward at the hips until your body is at a 45 degree angle to the floor, and place your free hand on top of a bench for support. Bend your right elbow so that your upper arm is parallel to the floor, your forearm is perpendicular to it, and your palm faces in. Pull in your abdominals and relax your knees. Keeping your upper arm still, straighten your arm behind you untill the end of the dumbbell is pointing down. Slowly bend your arm to lower the weight. When you've completed the set, repeat with your other arm.
Keep your abs pulled in and your knees relaxed to protect your lower back.
DON'T lock your elbow at the top of the movement; straighten your arm but keep your elbow relaxed.
DON'T allow your upper arm to move or your shoulder to drop below waist level.
