That’s a great way to guarantee the lats are powering the move instead of the pecs. Don’t lock them out at any point and make sure they’re the ones leading the pull on the dumbbell. We can’t stress this enough: your elbows are going to make or break your lat pullover technique. Continue for 8 - 12 total reps depending on how many you’re capable of doing. There’s no more tension on your muscles once the dumbbell is above the center of your chest, or right about where your arms are straight and perpendicular to your torso. Don’t bring the weight any further forward than it was when you started.Reverse the motion to get back to the starting position, taking care to lead with your elbows and bring them in toward the body’s midline rather than out like your body will naturally want to do.This produces a full stretch of the latissimus dorsi, which runs down your ribs as well as across your back. Simultaneously with the dumbbell motion, sink your hips toward the ground.Slowly move the weight backward toward your head while also lowering it so that it ends up near the top of your head.Here’s how to complete one lat pullover repetition: Pay attention to your elbows and concentrate on lifting the weight with your lats rather than your chest, shoulders, or arms. Don’t lock out your elbows this will cause unnecessary strain on the joint. Grab a dumbbell by the weight at one side and hold it above your chest with your palms facing the ceiling and your arms straight.In fact, doing so will make the chest muscles the target rather than your lats. You don’t need to have your torso in a straight horizontal line. Your shoulder blades should be on the bench, everything below them off.
