Fitness Workouts - LYING DUMBBELL PULLOVER

STRENGTHENS

LATS (BACK), TRICEPS, CORE

STARTING POSITION

Lie on a flat bench with your feet up, holding one dumbbell with your arms extended. Keeping your abs contracted, allow a natural arch in your lower back. Push your shoulders down toward your hips (away from your ears) and against the bench (A).

MOVEMENT

Keeping your shoulders locked in the starting position and your arms straight, slowly arc the dumbbell overhead, ending with your arms next to your ears (B). EASY

Pause in this position.

Activate the muscles of your midback and triceps (back of your arms) to push the dumbbell back to the start (A). HARD

 

Why It’s Perfect for You

This move does triple duty. While it’s primarily a back exercise, it also works your triceps and abs hard. It’s amazing for tightening the backs of the arms and the flabby trouble zone around your bra strap.
