Hi Jerry,
Not Cathe (obviously) but I have severe problems with tricep kickbacks affecting my neck and traps. I feel them there more than in my triceps!
Anyhoo, no real point to my post, just wanted to let you know I have problems with kickbacks too and hopefully Cathe can help us!!

Join the club! I have great difficulty isolating the targeted muscles when working with the band. Not so with barbell and dumbells. Go figure!

If you are doing these bent over (the same position as doing a kickback with dumbells--as Cathe shows in the HC workouts), that may cause the rear shoulder to work more to hold the arm in place.
Since bands don't need to work against gravity to be effective, the way weights do, I suggest you try the move standing up: do one arm at a time by holding onto the band in front of the right shoulder with your left hand, then straigtening your right arm down (to work the right triceps). This somewhat emulates the tricep push-down station at a gym.
You can also work both arms at once by draping the band around your neck---though it can be a bit uncomfortable on the neck.
