How to do Dumbbell Pullover

Follow the numbered positions in the image and use each instruction as its matching cue.

  1. 1

    Set the starting position

    Lie securely on the bench with dumbbell pair and flat bench held over the chest, elbows softly bent, feet planted, and ribs controlled.

    Breathing: Breathe steadily; do not hold your breath.

  2. 2

    Perform the effort phase

    Inhale and arc the load behind the head by moving at the shoulders while keeping the elbow angle nearly fixed and the lower back from over-arching.

    Breathing: Inhale through the controlled return.

  3. 3

    Control the end position

    Stop when the upper arms reach the largest comfortable overhead range and the shoulders remain stable.

    Breathing: Breathe steadily; do not hold your breath.

  4. 4

    Return under control

    Exhale and pull the arms back over the chest along the same arc without turning the movement into an elbow extension.

    Breathing: Exhale through the effort.

Setup and safety note: Use the declared Dumbbell Pullover setup, maintain controlled joint alignment, and stop if the movement causes pain.
