Straight-Arm Dumbbell Pullover

Chest · Dumbbell

How to do it

Lie on the bench holding one dumbbell with both hands over your chest, elbows slightly bent. Take the weight behind your head while breathing in and **expanding the ribcage**, until you feel the pull through chest and lats. Come back without bending the elbows further. This is a loaded stretch, not a strength lift: moderate weight and control. The classic mistake is arching the lower back to reach further.
