Pullovers do you do 'em? Why or why not? When?

[Lumberg]

I just started doing these with DBs. I like them a lot. DO you do 'em? Where do they make you sore? how do you incorporate them into your training split?

The only thing I know so far is that I will be doing them on the same day as shrugs. They seem to go well with DB military press too.

Do you do them lying down on a flat bench?
I do them sitting up on a machine... they work the lats unless I am mistaken, dunno why you would do them on shrugs day unless that s also your back day.
I havent done them that much but I like em so far.

 

[Lumberg]

Yeah I started doin them on a machine when i went on vaca and then I came back to my gym and all we have is DBs.

th ereason I'll do em on the same day as Shrugs is that in both exercises I want to use more than 60# and I will make my own DBs with oly handles.

3 sets of 10 anywhere on chest day...generally after my flat and incline work

I use pullovers (db or on the lat pulldown) on back days. Primarily as a warmup. 3 sets of 15 get the lats pumped!

 

[Lumberg]

Yeah I noticed that the clavicular head of my pecs only is sore after doing these. It's not fun to do bench the day after pullovers; I'm more prone to schedule these AFTER a chest day.

Tear my shoulders up too bad

 

[Lumberg]

Yeah if you go too far back that's bad mojo man.

You gotta be smart.

i do the pullovers on my back day, i use a barbell and have a shoulder width grip. theyve helped my back greatly, i was sore the first few times. dumbells are better for chest i do believe.

 

[Lumberg]

You use a barbell huh?

you think that's better or worse than a dumbbell?
