Dumbbell Straight Arm Pullover (Knees at 90 Degrees)

Instructions

1. Lie on a flat bench with knees bent at 90 degrees and feet flat on the bench or floor; hold one dumbbell with both hands above your chest, arms nearly straight.
2. Brace your core and slowly lower the dumbbell in an arc behind your head until you feel a deep stretch in your lats.
3. Keep your arms nearly straight throughout and avoid letting your lower back arch excessively.
4. Pull the dumbbell back up in the same arc to the starting position over your chest.
5. Repeat for the prescribed reps, controlling the weight on the way down.
