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

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

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

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.
