While the dumbbell pullover isn’t given the same importance as some other exercises, it has been a favourite among professional bodybuilders and fitness trainers. However, there is no harm in performing the exercise with the slightly different techniques on different days of the week.

The truth is that following the standard technique is actually good enough to exercise both muscle groups. The result: dumbbell pullovers are often shuttled and shared between back workout day and chest workout day! Some people find a solution to this problem by tweaking their technique slightly, to target either the back muscles or the chest muscles (depending on the area they are focusing on that day). This is because the dumbbell pullover works both the pectoral muscles in the chest as well as the latissimus dorsi muscles in the back. Now, there is a debate around whether the dumbbell pullover exercise should be performed on the day when you’re working out your chest or when you're doing back exercises. This is where the dumbbell pullover comes in. However, it is important to train the muscles from different angles and movements for a complete workout.

The bench press - whether it is a flat bench press workout, an incline bench press workout or decline bench press - is one of the pet exercises to work the chest muscles.
