1. A Core Exercise
Dumbbell pullovers one of those exercises considered to be core exercises. This simply means that they should be in everyone's workout regimen. These are your basic mass-builders for the upper back.
2. Start Light
Most folks who are new to bodybuilding or who have not worked out in a while will find these exercises to be difficult. This exercise requires strict concentration and adherence to proper form. A good piece of advice is to start with light weight and build up gradually. This prevents painful injuries that are fairly common to this exercise.
3. Go Slow
Along with lighter weights, the bodybuilder should also perform these exercises very slowly. This helps to prevent injury by helping to focus on your form, thereby 'catching' yourself from executing a bad repetition. Moving too fast prevents these assets and increase your risk of injury a great deal. Going slow also has other benefits such as making those light weights more effective by increasing resistance.
4. Pick Your Weapons
This workout can be accomplished using dumbbells, kettle balls, or barbells; it is a versatile exercise. You can also perform this exercise lying on an incline, decline or a simple flat bench. A good rule of thumb is to change it up every few weeks. The body incredibly adaptable and needs change in order to continue growing.
5. Perform the Workout
Lie on the bench with a dumbbell in each hand. Bend at your elbows slightly and leave them like this throughout all the workout. Concentrate on using your back, not your triceps to perform this exercise. Lower the dumbbell as far below your head as you can comfortably do and then raise them again in one arching motion. Hold this position for a second for a return and repeat.
