Exercise:

Dumbbell Pullovers

Target Muscle:

Chest

Secondary Muscles:

Triceps/Lats/Serratus

Equipment Needed:

Flat Bench, Dumbbell

Proper Execution:

Lie perpendicular to the bench with your upper back flat and feet on the ground. Place a dumbbell next to you on the bench and pick it up with your palms facing the plates. With a slight bend in your arms and with your hips low, lower the weight in an arch behind your head. Once you have lowered the weight as far back as you can, lift the weight back up following the same arch until the weight is directly over your chest. Repeat this motion until you have reached muscular failure.

Tips:

Remember to keep your hips low throughout the entire exercise. Also try not to lift the weight too far past your upper chest, as this will shift more stress onto the triceps.
