Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Dumbbell Incline Triceps Kickback.
A triceps isolation exercise performed lying face down on an incline bench, extending a dumbbell backward from a bent-elbow position. The incline angle keeps constant tension on the triceps throughout the movement and removes any tendency to swing the torso for momentum.
The Dumbbell Incline Triceps Kickback is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
