Do you get a little strain in your neck when you do this exercise?  I notice if I rest my head on the bench, I don't get that deep stretch

[Zanjistic]

Are you supposed to keep your elbows straight, or bend them when you go back and straighten them coming up?

[killakali408650]

slightly bent but not like a 90 degree bend...

does dis work the lats ?? if so is 15 pounds enough ?

[Archthebar]

@danburrycunt to start out, yes. u dont want to push it. its similar to a dumb bell fly in the sense that it is a stretching workout. but the weights increase quickly. i went from 30lbs- 90 lbs dumb bells in 2 months. its not really a lat workout, but it does hit them a bit

@danburrycunt tell me how old you are and i can tell you if it would work and yess it works youre lats and your whole chest and you lower back and somepart of the shoulder but i don't know the name :P

[nygamble]

how about the neck. my neck tends to go up with the dumbell.. should i drop a few weights down? too heavy?

[pinoyheat]

hey man.. isn't dumbell pullover done with 2 separate dumbells? hoping for your response. thanks.

[forthelovefitness]

Typically it's done with one dumbbell. I've seen barbell pullovers done with multiple plates on one bar.

Actually, I don't think I've ever seen a dumbbell pullover done with separate dumbbells. HOWEVER, I've had clients who have done single-arm dumbbell pullovers because of in injury to some part of the opposite limb.

Hope that helps a bit.
