Straight-Arm Dumbbell Pullover
How to do it
- Lie back on a bench with one dumbbell held over your chest in both hands, cupping the top head.
- Keep your arms almost straight, elbows barely bent.
- Lower the dumbbell back over your head until you feel a stretch across your lats.
- Pull it back over your chest without bending your elbows.
- Almost-straight arms keep this on the lats. Bend them and your triceps take over.
