Dumbbell Pullover Benefits

  • Dumbbell pullover is one of the rare exercises that trains both the front and back of the body at the same time. The main purpose of this exercise is to work the chest and back muscles, in order to strengthen them, and help you gain muscle mass.
  • Dumbbell pullover is considered a postural exercise by sports physiologists and researchers. You can include it in your training program to develop chest muscles and increase stability in the body.
