Here’s a new exercise to help flex your triceps muscles. It’s called the “Standing Triceps Kickback.” The name is a misnomer because there’s no actual kicking in this exercise. So keep your feet planted to the ground, and let’s begin!

Step 1: Hold a pair of dumbbells, with palms facing toward each other. Bend at the waist as if you were about to tie your shoes, then lift only your chin and chest, creating a slight arch in your back, and slightly bend your knees.

Step 2: Raise your elbows as high as possible while keeping them close to your body. Breathe slowly and rhythmically as you extend the weights back and out (without moving the upper part of the arm) through a count of 10 seconds.

Step 3: Hold and squeeze at the maximum tension point for 2 seconds.

Step 4: Return the weights to the starting point through a count of 10 seconds.

Step 5: Repeat three times without resting.
