Dowel Pullovers
Written By David Song
DOWEL PULLOVERS
This is a shoulder mobility warm up exercise that can be done lightly prior to your upper body workouts or activities. Grab a broomstick or dowel and hold it wider than shoulder distance apart with an overhand grip. Raise it up and over your head and down behind your back. Slowly reverse and repeat. You can shorten the distance between your hands to increase difficulty.
