No gym around me has pullover machines

[Stonecoldt]

I am thinking about buying one of these for my basement. Dorian Yates swore by them. Takes biceps out. Thoughts?

Rope pull over on the cable or an incline bench with a straight bar on the cables is nice too

I’ve never used them, I think they’re fucking awesome, but I wouldn’t buy one. If I’m buying 1 piece of gym equipment it’d be either some sort of squat machine or cable station for versatility. Can target so many things, lat pull over it’s just that.

If you have cables at your gym you can use those to perform Pullovers.

Never saw or used them..I do cables or db pullovers..

Oh I would love to have a free motion dual cable machine. The holy grail of cables. I couod never get it into my basement.

This. Problem solved. Don't spend on something you can easily substitute for. Pieces like a Leg Press/Hack Squat/rack are a different story.

Thanks! Never thought of this. Ive done the standing ones but not on an incline like this….

 

[Koolio]

Just grab a dumbbell, lay crosswise on a flat bench and do pullovers...

 

[Stonecoldt]

None of these substitutes has near the range of motion as the machine.

I don’t do them often but it is an option. Personally I rather do the rope pull over

This ^

Honestly are pullovers even necessary ?

What are we isolating/targeting with pullovers exactly?

Inner lats, Serratus and expanding the rib cage.

One of the best lat exercises. That full stretch is money.

Alrighty then.

Fuck a pull over. Unless u got a true pullover machine that you can hoist heavy loads on.

 

[Milford King]

Hey while we’re all here…. How many sets per week are you guys getting on average for your back muscles.

Right now I’m at 3 movements at 3 sets per movement twice a week. So around 18 sets. It seems like a lot but it doesn’t feel like a lot. Just getting back in the swing of things.

You can do em on a bench....Its easy to go heavy if you have someone hand you the weight.

20-25 sets total. Same for chest.

My gym don’t have any of them either but my gym sucks, planet fitness blows but that’s only gym that’s within 10 mins from my house, other gyms are kike 40-45 mins away, by time I get off work my gym so crowded you can’t get on shit, then you got guys who put their jackets on smith machines and just walk around do other shit then come back to the smith machine and it pisses me off…. There are 4 smith machines in my gym and these people will hang their jackets or just stay on them machines for over an hour hogging it , so I gave up going after work, I get off around 7pm and they close at 10pm near me because I live in a bad area and I guess they don’t want the gym open past 10 because of the crime . It’s either I go to gym before work at 7am or just weekends now

25 ish sets based on 6 day PPL Split.

Reps between 8-15

Yea but realistically you only get half the range of motion as u would on a true pull over machine so fuck it I’ll do cheat rows and be gay.

Ask them politely to take their jackets off so you can use the equipment...
You guys are being too nice....lol

I have two at my gym. Machine and a free weight. They're all right, but I feel it so much better standing using cables

If I was you, my goal would be to save up and buy some used equipment and find or build a space for it at your house.
