Dowel Pullover
Also called Dowel Shoulder Pass-Through
Technique
How to perform Dowel Pullover
- Stand tall and hold a light dowel or PVC stick in front of your thighs with a wide overhand grip.
- Keep your elbows straight and your trunk steady as you raise the dowel overhead.
- Allow your shoulder blades to move naturally with your arms instead of pinning them down and back.
- Continue the arc behind you only as far as you can control without bending your elbows or arching your lower back.
- Reverse the same path to bring the dowel back in front of your thighs, keeping each pass smooth.
