Sets: 3–4 · Reps: 8–15

Supine arm reach is a regression of Dumbbell Pullover. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.

Long range: Long range means the target muscle is challenged as it reaches a longer position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The arms travel overhead as the lats and long head of the triceps lengthen, provided the ribcage stays controlled.
