Dumbell Pull Over for Your Upper Body Workout

Video Transcript

"Right now we're going to do a Dumbbell Pull Over. This exercise is going to work the upper part of your chest. It's also going to work parts of your lats and your surredus muscles. It's going to put a little pressure on your shoulder, so it's very important that this exercise is executed properly and that you don't go too far back before you start the exercise. You're going to come on back on a flat bench. Make sure your head is rested on the bench. You don't want to let your head hang over the bench or it's going to put a bend in your neck. And again always keep your neck neutral through spine. This exercise is going to start right here. Don't over extend. Again, too much pressure on your shoulder joints. But you want to begin here. Stabilize your chest and feet are flat on the floor. Breathe normally and just pull the weight forward. Rest here, and back. Again, you want to use a light to moderate weight depending on your level of fitness and your muscular strength. Heavier weights, when you take that weight back, if you use a heavy weight, it's going to again, put way too much stress on your shoulder joints. Slow and controlled motion. Again, breathe normally and pull. And hold, and back down. Just a couple more. There you go. That's a Dumbbell Pull Over."
