Dumbbell Seated Kickback
Both dumbbells kicked back together while seated and folded over the thighs; sitting takes the legs out of it.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on the bench end, chest over the thighs, bells hanging, upper arms along the ribs.
Steps
- Straighten both arms back together.
- Squeeze with the bells behind the hips.
- Lower the forearms until they hang straight down.
Common mistakes
Sitting up as the arms tire: stay folded forward. Elbows flaring out: keep them tucked by the ribs. Bells swinging up with momentum: lighter and strict.
Breathing
Exhale extending, inhale returning.
