Straight Arm Pullback With Dumbbell

Starting Position

• grasp a dumbbell with one hand
• the palm points backwards or to the body
• stand upright, feet shoulder width apart and knees bent a little
• bend forward until the upper body is almost parallel to the ground
• the free hand is on the knee to support your body
• back is straight
• straight arm, the weight is hanging down

Correct Execution

• slowly raise the arm without bending it until it is parallel to the ground
• hold this position for a moment
• the upper body does not move
• afterwards, bring down the arm slowly and go over to the next rep
• do several reps on one side
• switch sides then and do the same number of reps

tips for the workout

• if you want to focus on the triceps, then first do the Triceps Kickback and lift the arm afterwards
• it becomes harder, if you train both arms simultaneously, your back has to stabilize your body more
