Description

The dumbbell lying pullover on exercise ball is an advanced exercise that targets the lats, chest, and core muscles.

Starting Position

Begin by lying with your upper back and head supported on the exercise ball, feet flat on the floor, and hips lifted in a bridge position.

Technical Execution

Hold a dumbbell with both hands extended overhead, lower the dumbbell behind your head while keeping your arms straight, and then raise it back to the starting position.

Range of Motion

Maintain a controlled range of motion, lowering the dumbbell as far as comfortably possible without compromising form.

Variations

To increase difficulty, try performing the exercise with single-arm dumbbell pullovers or incorporating a stability challenge by using an unstable surface for your feet.

Common Mistakes

Common mistakes include arching the back excessively, using too much weight, and failing to stabilize the exercise ball.

Practical Advice

Ensure proper breathing technique throughout the movement and focus on engaging the targeted muscles.
