Cable Two Arm Tricep Kickback

Triceps

Doing tricep kickbacks with both arms at once on a cable trains the muscle through its most contracted, locked-out position, similar to a single-arm kickback but with double the volume per set. Because the resistance angle is easiest at full extension, keeping the reps controlled rather than snapping to lockout is what actually challenges the triceps. It's typically a finisher exercise rather than a primary triceps builder.

How to Do the Cable Two Arm Tricep Kickback

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
  2. Hold the cable handle in each hand with your palms facing inwards and your arms bent at a 90-degree angle.
  3. Keeping your upper arms stationary, extend your forearms backwards until your arms are fully extended.
  4. Pause for a moment, then slowly return to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Muscles Worked

The Cable Two Arm Tricep Kickback primarily targets the Triceps, with Shoulders as the primary synergist muscle group.
