Dumbbell Incline Pullover

Dumbbell Incline Pullover

- An adjustable bench

Starting Position

1. Set the adjustable bench to an incline (about 30-45 degrees).
2. Sit on the bench and lean back while holding a dumbbell in each hand, with your arms extended above your chest.
3. Keep your feet flat on the ground and ensure your back is supported by the bench.

Movement Instructions

1. Lower the Dumbbells:
- Slowly lower the dumbbells back and over your head in an arc motion while keeping your elbows slightly bent.
- Inhale as you move the dumbbells down until you feel a stretch in your chest and back.

2. Return to Starting Position:
- Engage your core and feel your back muscles activate.
- Raise the dumbbells back up in the same arc motion to the starting position, exhaling as you lift them back.

Tips

- Focus on using your back and chest muscles rather than your arms to lift the weights.
- Maintain a steady pace and avoid jerking movements.
- Ensure your head and neck remain in a neutral position throughout the exercise.
- Start with lighter weights to master the form before progressing to heavier weights.

Repetitions

- Aim for 8-12 repetitions for 2-3 sets, resting for 30-60 seconds between sets.
