Tricep Extensions (Best Kettlebell Exercises)
Top Exercises (Quickie Videos) • 41s
Simple but potentially brutal, we love tricep extensions. Not only will you strengthen your triceps, but when performed well you can improve elbow mobility, reverse kyphosis (tech neck), and flex your thoracic spine with this rib and chest opening move.
Kettlebells Needed: 1
Weight Recommended: Light-Medium
Pace Recommended: Medium
Directions: Hold the kettlebell upside-down, with your thumbs pointing to your back. Lift the kettlebell up and over your head. Keeping your elbows in and shoulders packed and still (don't shrug), bend your arms and lower the kettlebell behind your head to 90 degrees or more. Hinge only at the elbow and achieve the fullest range of motion that you can, maintaining tension on the kettlebell the entire time. Once you've achieved full depth, straighten your elbows (again, try to keep everything else still) until your arms are fully extended directly overhead. Repeat.
Modifier: may be performed standing, seated, or kneeling
