Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: tricep pullover.
We’re so used to working the front of our bodies but to be truly strong, we have to have strong muscles out back too. When it comes to our arms, you may be used to doing bicep curls but that work has to be evened out – and that’s where a dumbbell pullover comes in.
So, what exactly is a dumbbell pullover and what muscles does it work?
While this is the ultimate tricep move, it also works our back and chest muscles. The heavier the weight, the more you’ll feel every part of your upper body working to stabilise and support the movement.
- Helps to rebalance: If you only work the front of your arms, this move will help to make sure that the backs are just as strong.
- Targets neglected muscles: We don’t normally do a lot of chest work as women but we should – and the same goes for the back.
