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

It's great for the lats
OK for the chest
Bad for the shoulders

Love them for the lats, but I can't do em. Aggravates my shoulders.

 

[wnt2bBeast]

useless

 

[Dial_tone]

Good for stretching; doesn't build much muscle.

 

[Tweakle]

fuck no, they destroyed my right shoulder joint

 

[anthrax]

Either you use moderate/light weight and it is useless (or just for stretching)

or you use heavy weight and your rot. cuff won't appreciate

DialTone nice title.

Bad for your shoulders eh?

Arnold is a huge fan.

DO you think that using a machine is OK, but the free weight is what fucks up your shoulders?

I think i will go ahead and try them, and just be very mindful of my shoulders.

Pullovers or you can do undergrip pulldowns. Works the same.

I'm gonna have to disagree on that one. My upper pecs and long head of the tri were sore after doing pullovers. never experienced that with pulldowns.
