Have your training partner hold the other end of the band.Tie a band around the dumbbell handle, then set up as you would for a dumbbell pullover.The weight of the dumbbell creates enormous tension on the lats in the stretched position, and the band allows huge tension to pull the dumbbell forward toward the legs.
