No one uses it? Thing seems to kill my lats?
???
-
The gym at my undergrad school had an old Nautilus pullover machine, that thing was awesome.
-
Dorian Yates loved it... His back was apparently pretty good ;)
-
Arnold was a fan and thus I'm a fan too!
Love that machine!
-
I wish my gym had one. They really work the lats directly while taking the arms out of it.
-
Great piece of equipment.
-
I prefer it with a rope attached to a pulley
-
has to fit with your biomechanics
and this is a bit more tricky than other machines
-
Its a great machine! kills my lats!
-
Only 2 bally gyms by my area have them, one is a machine stack weight which feels decent, the other is a hammer strength that feels like total shit
-
Never ever used one...

That's because you don't have one on your "zolder" ;D

sadly i don't see these anymore, they're great!
-
I used to do it as a finishing exercise for back. isolates lats really good obviously.
Dorian did them in the beginning of his workout if i remember right.
-
Thanks for the advice people!
Any tips on hitting the inner back hard? My lats are wide, but I lack anything in the middle. :-\

i thought pull overs expand the rib cage. maybe that's why jay culter's and yates' trucks were so boxy. i just walk past the machine.

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

Smart or dumb, even with a history full of injuries and tears Branch does it his way.

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

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...

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 ::) "
