Açıklama
Dumbbell Pullover is a unique upper body exercise performed with a single dumbbell on a bench. This exercise works the chest muscles, back muscles (latissimus dorsi) and serratus anterior simultaneously. It helps expand the rib cage and add overall volume to the upper body. Thanks to the wide range of motion, the chest and back muscles experience a deep stretch and contraction. It is especially preferred as a finishing movement at the end of chest workouts. It is a functional exercise because it increases flexibility and targets multiple muscle groups.
