Why with the back only partially on the bench like that? Could you lay on the bench like normal? What is that changing to lay on the bench with just the upper back like that?
A bigger stretch for what? Isn't the lower body stretch position for the lats with your hips hinged?
It's to stretch the lats, pecs and serratus anterior. Appearantly, if you do a deep breath on the end of the lift, your ribcage grows and your frame will become bigger. According to some people that is.
It's a fantastic stretch for better posture anyway.
I love pullovers, my community college gym had the 2nd gen Nautilus machine pullover. Sadly no public gyms have this machine. Best exercise to isolate the lats.
probably not, tho it will probably get the serratus anterior a little
so you can put your butt down and get a bigger stretch

if you do it on the floor the rom gets compromised imo its better in the bench
To drop your hips for stability
can you clarify how/when you drop hips for stability?
My shoulders always get fricked during this.
you are probably not depressing your scapula. If you aren't depressing/retracting your scapula and holding them there, your shoulder is not supported and will move in ways that cause pain
You drop your hips so you don't fall backwards. Also to actually get a stretch on the anterior muscles. Your hip should be dropped during the entire lift.
When will people realize that OP is referring to the “pullovers expand your ribcage” meme and is not just recommending them as a general hypertrophy exercise?
If you've ever done this exercise you'd know that it's impossible to lift heavy enough to stimulate growth in a big muscle like the lats. Also yeah sometimes your triceps get sore because it's a long ass range of motion, so your arms are bound to pick up some slack.
yes, it definitely turns into a triceps exercise in part, and if you have outer elbow / triceps tendon pain, it will really hit that in a painful way

I tried it and, I didn't feel anything, maybe some tiredness in the shoulders after a few sets but it's all, nothing in the chest, am I doing it wrong?
I stoped doing these bc I couldn't feel my chest. Finally got it right and it feels amazing, love doing them with incline press, my upper chest is looking a lot better, dont have befor and after pics tbh. Also doing shoulders every day helped as well.
Just do them with cables or a machine, it's a single-joint lift anyway.

CHANGE MY PITCH UP
SNAP MY SHIT UP
This exercise ruins my aesthetics so hard
Shut the frick up misinformation spreader

bros should it really hit chest like the images imply? I only feel my lats while doing them
I get some chest activation when I did these but I feel the lats most of the time.

What does it even do?

It's a meme but true, although I think the best benefit of the exercise is nucleus overload
>nucleus overload
lel
LTE> these
The only way I can reliably grow my triceps. My lats are already oversized from pullup prowess but they get some too.
