Bottle Weighted Kickback

Perform the Bottle Weighted Kickback to strengthen your triceps and improve upper body stability.

  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a bottle in each hand.
  2. Bend slightly at the knees and hinge forward at the hips, keeping your back straight.
  3. Extend your arms behind you, squeezing your triceps at the top of the movement.
  4. Return to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Bottle Weighted Kickback

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Bottle Weighted Kickback using your free weights.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your biceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your biceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
