#Info – Dumbbell Pullover
The dumbbell pullover is a versatile exercise targeting the chest and lats. Common mistakes include using excessive weight, which can strain the shoulders, and arching the back, reducing core engagement. To prevent these, select a manageable weight and maintain a flat back on the bench. For beginners, start with lighter weights to focus on form. Advanced users can increase weight or try variations like the stability ball pullover for added core challenge. Ensure controlled movements to maximize muscle engagement and minimize injury risk. Incorporate this exercise to enhance upper body strength and improve shoulder mobility.
