Lying Straight Arm Pullover | How to Perform Lying Straight Arm Pullover
The lying straight arm pullover is an exercise that targets the chest, back, and triceps. Here’s how to perform it:
1. Lie on a bench with your feet flat on the floor and your back cross on the bench.
2. Grasp a dumbbell with both hands and hold it above your chest with your arms straight and your palms facing up.
3. Slowly lower the dumbbell overhead, keeping your arms straight and your elbows locked.
4. Once the dumbbell is behind your head, pause briefly, then lift it back to the starting position above your chest.
Tips:
Keep your back and core engaged throughout the exercise to avoid arching your back.
Lower the dumbbell slowly and with control, avoiding letting it drop too quickly behind your head.
Keep your elbows locked throughout the exercise to emphasize the work on your chest and triceps.
Use a weight that allows you to maintain proper form and control throughout the exercise.
If you experience any discomfort or strain in your shoulders or neck, stop the exercise and consult with a trainer or medical professional.
