When it comes to triceps, few exercises are as popular as the triceps pressdown.

After all, it's easy to do and you can load up the weight stack with a pretty decent amount of weight. Especially if you do the "full-body" version you see many guys doing.

The dumbbell triceps kickback on the other hand, is often viewed as an exercise only done by women.

And ladies, I'm certainly NOT talking about women who follow my training programs. The dumbbell triceps kickback is viewed by most men as an exercise done by women who use the pink foam-coated dumbbells.

But what if I told you that the dumbbell triceps kickback is one of the most effective exercises that you can do for the triceps?!

That's right! According to new research from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, you may want to start adding dumbbell triceps kickbacks to your triceps workouts immediately!
