Dumbbell Pullover to Press Bridge
A floor combination: pull two dumbbells over from behind the head, then press them up as the hips rise into a glute bridge.
How to do it
Setup
On your back, knees bent, feet planted, a dumbbell in each hand with the arms long on the floor behind the head.
Steps
- Pull the bells over the face until they are above the chest.
- Press them straight up as you drive the hips into a bridge.
- Lower the hips and take the bells back overhead in one slow motion.
Common mistakes
Bells crashing onto the floor behind the head: lower them slowly, elbows soft. Pressing before the bells are over the chest: pull over first, then press. Arching the lower back in the bridge: ribs down, the glutes lift.
Breathing
Inhale on the pullover, exhale on the press and bridge.
