348_1[1]Today I did some tricep dumbbell kickbacks, something I haven’t tried in a long time.  Even with very light amounts of weight they cause an incredible burn in your triceps and isolates them better than almost any other exercise.  I topped out with 25 pounds and struggled to get six reps with it.

Of course using proper form with this move makes a tremendous difference in difficulty.  If you focus on keeping your upper arm parallel to the ground and moving the weight without utilizing a swing at the bottom it will maximize your results.

The back half of the gym had the faint smell of sewage today.  I didn’t enjoy it.
