Why You Should Do It:
The Dumbbell Pullover is an often forgotten about exercise that offers a lot of bang for your buck. The Pullover works the lats eccentrically, but wait, that’s only one aspect of the Pullover. It also works the abdominals as they support and stabilize the torso. Plus you get isometric glutes activation.
How to Do It:
The three cues I use with the Pullover are:
- Keep hips and shoulders in line by contracting the abdominals and the glutes.
- Use a six second count when lowering the dumbbell.
- Lower the dumbbell to the point just before shoulder lockout.
Do 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps
When to Do It:
The Pullover is best used as an accessory lift done after your main lifts. I will often pair it with another exercise like a Dumbbell Bench or Push Up.
Now Do It!
