Dumbbell Side Bends

dumbbell side bend

What’s up ? This is THE stephane ANDRE ! I read a Frederic Delavier’s book « Strength Training Anatomy » and I learned good stuff.

Standing wit your legs slightly apart with one hand behind your head and a dumbbell in the other hand :

  • Do a lateral flexion of your torso on the opposite side of the dumbbell

  • Return to the start position or go beyond it by doing a passive flexion of your torso.

  • Alter the sets by changing the dumbbell aside without recovery time.

This exercise works mainly on the flexion side obliques and a little bit rectus abdominis, deep muscles of the back and quadratus lumborum.

quadratus lumborum
