Dumbbell Pullovers

 

1. Grasp a dumbbell with both hands and position yourself on a flat bench with your shoulder blades resting on the bench.
2. You can either position yourself at a 90 degree angle to the bench, or dip your hips/pelvis below the bench (shown above). The latter position allows for a greater stretch and more development in your back.
3. Your knees bent, and feet firmly plated on the floor.
4. Holding the dumbbell in both hands, straighten your arms so that dumbbell is directly overhead. This is the starting position.
5. Bending at the shoulders only and keeping your arms straight, slowly lower the weight down behind your head until the dumbbell reaches the height of the bench.
6. Slowly raise the dumbbell back to the starting position.
7. Repeat for desired reps.
