To perform a dumbbell kickback, position yourself on an exercise bench similar to a one-arm row with one knee and one hand giving support and your back nice and straight. Pull your elbow to the sky and keeping your upper arm parallel to the ground. Extend your arm backwards in a slow and controlled fashion, making sure you're keeping your core nice and tight to provide stability and ensuring that your upper body does not rotate during this move.
