Pullover strength equipment

Pullover

— an exercise for a muscle group, the basis of which is lifting a load from behind the head.

One of the advantages of this technique is that it allows you to simultaneously work out three muscle groups at once: pectoral, lats and triceps. But the degree of load on each of these groups may be different, depending on the technique for performing pullovers. So, when performing an exercise lying on a horizontal bench, the triceps are mainly worked out, the pectoral muscles are less involved, and the lats do not strain at all to the degree necessary for training; to work out the latissimus dorsi, the position on an inclined bench is better with the head down, etc. Specifically, the devices for performing pullovers in modern simulators can be either the simplest benches for working with dumbbells or other free weights, or block systems designed to perform "pulls from behind the head".
