Pullover Machine Any Good

[Mr Nobody]

The gym at my undergrad school had an old Nautilus pullover machine, that thing was awesome.

X2 = the best Nautilus machine ever made. Pre-exhaust the lats by doing the pullover which has no bicep involvement then do pulldowns works very well.

Since reading the Arnold Encyclopedia and watching those Dorian videos. I use the pull over machine every back workout. It's my favorite machine hands down.

I've used that very machine. Not the best pullover as you can't adjust the seat, but still very good.

to build this?

I love how people needed to bring in Phil to do a seminar to tell them to use a medium grip and to slightly pause at the top

I drive 25 miles each way to use one in Mountain View Golds. Just the most awesome machine ever, old school plate loaded and NOTHING-NOTHING!!! hits  my lats the way it does.

The BEST back routine I have put together-

Machine pullovers
Reverse grip pulldowns
Reverse grip barbell rows
Seated low handle hammer rows
Behind the neck pulldowns
Dumbell pullovers
Rack deads

Long workout but my back is EASILY my best bodypart. I have always done high intensity/high volume on back and I have always gained. If you critique my routine, there is little overlap- it is very well thought out, and I developed it over many many years of training. Give it a shot...

No one uses it?  Thing seems to kill my lats?

  The pullover is the best exercise to develop the back fast. The barbell row gives you more thickness to your back, but it takes much longer to show results because it takes time for you to learn how to balance the weight. I don't know of any serious bodybuilder who doesen't do some form of pulldown in his back training.

If they hired a twink, most guys would respond with "yeah, whatever  "

Imagine trying to break an egg with your shoulder blades when you row.

Awesome way to describe it, very helpful, thanks!
