Nautilus pullovers for killa lats

[Dawgpound_Hank]

Not many gyms carry the o'l Nautilus pullover machine anymore. I live in a somewhat decent sized city with numerous gyms. Only one gym has it. The pullover machine is a rare movement in that it is about the only movement that takes ALL biceps work out of working the lats. On top of that, it isolates and hits the lats about as directly as you can hit them, full range of motion too. Its impossible to mimic this movement via dumbell or ez bar pullovers. I get more of a pump in my lats from this exerice than virtually any other be it any variety of row, pullup, pulldown, whateva.

I highly recommend if you have this machine in your gym, to wipe the dust off that thing and throw in a few bust ass sets when working lats. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. The key when doing them is when you are in the bottom/contracted part of the rep, to hold it for 1 second...after about 12 reps of these to failure or close to it, your lats will be exploding with blood. Three sets of 10-12 and your shirt will be ripping at the seams.

p.s...Btw, it doesnt necessarily have to be the Nautilus brand name...just so its a pullover machine that mimics the action in the same way.

I used to like the pullover machine but it just feels horrible on my shoulders personally. And it wasnt adjustable so it always felt awkward as hell..I dunno my gym just sucks lol

Yeah I love pullovers and my gym does have a machine for them. Doing dumbbells just isn't the same. It feels more like it's working my lower chest/upper abdominal area.

People actually use it a lot at my gym, although they seem to think it's for abs. It's actually pretty funny to watch them try to do crunches on it

THe gym I am at now we have the Nautilus one, the other gym I went to before had the hammer strength one and I liked that one so much better, oh well, do use it and like it no matter which one I use.

i LOVE that machine. unfortunately my college gym is the only gym ive ever walked into that has it. which means i have limited access to it, since it closes during breaks between semesters.

Yep we had one for years but gone thrown out with all the great flat benches and shit we had. I hate when gyms do that.

Wow, ya couldn't have posted a better pic accompanying this topic! Mr Lats himself Sergio doing the ol' promo for Arthur Jones to help get the Nautilus line launched back in the day.

Many of the pullover machines have an adjustment so your arms dont come back so far at top position...which alleviates the shoulder pain. If not, raising the seat higher also helps. Killa machine all in all for lats.
