Dumbbell Pullover

How to

Dumbbell
  1. 1 Lie across a bench, one dumbbell over the chest.
  2. 2 Lower it behind the head with a soft elbow bend.
  3. 3 Pull it back over the chest along the same arc.

Tips

  • Hold the dumbbell by the inside of the top plate with both palms.
  • Keep the hips low so the ribs stay down.
  • It works the lats and chest; think of pulling with the elbows to feel the lats.

Common mistakes

  • Bending and straightening the elbows like a triceps extension.
  • Lowering so far that the shoulders strain.
  • Arching the back to reach further.
