Dumbbell Tricep Rollbacks

Take two dumbbells that are towards the lighter side to avoid hurting the elbows. Lay on a bench and position the dumbbells in a neutral manner with the arms outstretched, dumbbells over the chest/shoulders. Begin by bending your elbows until the heads of the dumbbell reach your shoulder. Once they reach your shoulder bring the elbows backwards stretching the lats and triceps. Squeeze your lats to return the elbows back to the previous position and then extend your elbows to straighten out your arms.

Trainer Tips: Keep your elbows close to your body the entire time and try not to flare them out to get a better training stimulus. Light weight is ideal for these for higher reps until you develop the mobility and strength to perform these safely at heavier weights. Lay back farther than normal so you avoid hitting the bench with the dumbbells. The head should be half on the bench and half off.
