Pullovers and 5x5

[ffknight84]

Would you reccomend pullovers as 5x5 for my lats. I attempted BB rows today and dont know if Im being retarded or what but could not get it to hit my lats.

TTT anyone???

Practice your form with BB rows....make sure to squeeze at the top of the rep. I'd rather do weighted pullups over pullovers in 5x5.

I definitly feel pullovers in my lats, but i think its an over rated exercise.

It's a common misconception that rows are for lats. No; they're for traps and few other things. For lats you need a vertical pull such as a pulldown or pullup.

Now yes pullovers will work for lats, and probably nicely. But unlike pullups they don't work all those other cute little back muscles.
