Do you do Pullovers?

I use an old Nautilus pullover and I have never found anything that hits the back so hard.

I've always wanted to use that machine... Dorian always used that first in his back routine... I'd say it worked pretty well for him. :p

Actually no, and maybe this is my reminder to start adding them in. When I had my shoulder injury I stopped these, well it's been healed for years now, so maybe adding in some lighter weight for a warm up would help..... We'll see

The best watyto do pullovers...is useing a barbell ...i call then stiff arm pullovers...when lowering the bar downward u keep your arms locked stright....This lift will def add some serious thickness to your lats and rib cage....best time to do them for me is after i do squats.dw

I do them once/week.....shoulder doesn't like them too much but it's a fantastic stretch.

Typically on a chest day after dips, it gives me a nice full stretch....also back day is typically before chest day so the stretch feels really good. I don't go too heavy though, never more than 85-90db's

These were one of my fav chest exercises before my shoulder injury. Now im not able to do them.

They are great for the upper chest.

Pullovers have been a part of my routine from the beginning. If you're not doing them you're missing out on a great lift. I usually use a dumbbell but we have a pull over machine at my gym. When that thing gets loaded up with weight it makes me feel like I'm going to throw up. Pullovers with heavy weight are intense.

I do pullovers most of the time. I read somewhere awhile ago that you isolate the chest more when you do them on a incline. So for some time now that's what I've been doing.
