Can You Get Rid Of Flabby Arms With Triceps Kickbacks?

Knowing which exercises to include in an arm toning workout is just as important as knowing which exercises not to include. After all, some of the most highly recommended exercises for getting rid of flabby arms are very dangerous.
How did this come to be?
The truth is that, in this case, tradition has clouded common sense. It’s all too common for women to blindly do what the so called experts have been recommending.
The good news is that I’ve been figuring all this stuff out for quite some time now. And I’m ready to share my knowledge because I believe that every woman deserves sexy arms.
Thus, here is my critique of triceps kickbacks for reducing flabby arms:
1. Summary: This is probably the most overrated triceps exercise out there. Seriously. I think this exercise is a waste of time for two main reasons. First, exercising one arm at a time is extremely inefficient. Second, you can’t use heavy weights when doing this exercise. And heavy weights are critical for the fastest arm toning.
2. Technical snapshot: Place one of your hands on a support structure like a bench. Lean forward with your knees slightly bent and keep your back straight. Grab a dumbbell with your free hand and align it with your torso. Bring the weight up by straitening your arm. Then slowly return it to the starting position. Repeat.
3. Frequent mistakes: Not going through the entire range of motion. Swinging up and down to move the weight rapidly. And not keeping the elbows locked in position.
4. Bottom line: Just because all the other women in your gym are doing this exercise doesn’t mean that you should. There are far better exercises out there for toning the triceps. Do not buy into this one.
Having an effective selection of arm toning exercises for your workouts is critical for flabby arm success. Anything less would be a waste of time. So never do what everybody else is doing without first questioning the practice. Only then will you get sexy and lean arms!
