Doing a press after each rep of a pullover only increases the value of the pullovers. This is one of the better compound movements, hitting the pec's, lat's, triceps & abs mostly. Any one can work up to some pretty respectable poundage in this exercise after a while. A press off the chest may seem fairly easy after the first 3 or 4 reps but after that, with the triceps and pec's being hit pretty hard by the pullover, it matches the effort of the puillover. 230 lbs, and above, is not out of the question when doing the pullover & press. I prefer using DB's, which tend to be easier on my wrist, giving a more natural hand position throughout the exercise. Using 125lb DB's, and above, are also not out of the question over time when doing this exercise for higher reps. I do believe that this exercise responds better to a higher rep range, like 10 to 20 reps. I've used GVT, with the P&P's as the only upper body movement, and got very good results. Good Luck.
