Lying exercise where a dumbbell is lowered behind the head and pulled back overhead, engaging the lats, serratus anterior, and chest through a long arc.

The dumbbell pullover stretches and strengthens the lats, chest, and serratus anterior, building the upper-body mobility HYROX athletes need for SkiErg and rowing.

Definition and limits

A dumbbell pullover moves a dumbbell in an arc relative to the torso while lying on a bench or support. Shoulder motion involves several muscles, including pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, with the triceps and trunk contributing depending on technique. Grip, elbow angle, range, bench support and load change the demand.
