The Dumbbell Floor Pullover is a strength training exercise that primarily targets the muscles of the chest, back, and shoulders. It is a variation of the classic dumbbell pullover exercise but is performed lying flat on the floor instead of on a bench. This exercise can be a beneficial addition to your upper body workout routine, helping to engage various muscle groups.
Let's start by lying on the floor. Grab your dumbbells and have them resting on the floor above your head, with a bend in your elbows. Have your palms facing each other.
This is the starting position.
From here, lift the weights off the floor by leading with the elbows. Keep going, with a slight bend in the arm throughout, until the elbows are tucked into your side. Then, bring the weights carefully back to the starting position. This is one repetition, now repeat for the desired amount.
If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands Gripping Aids to make this exercise as safe as possible.
