Exercise Profile

Pullover Machine Overview

The Pullover machine workout primarily targets the chest and lats, providing an effective upper body exercise.

Using the machine, you sit with your back against a padded support and grip the handles, then pull them towards your chest.

While the workout may engage secondary muscles, its main focus is on developing strength and definition in the chest and lats.

  4. Exhale and slowly pull the handles down and back, focusing on engaging your latissimus dorsi muscles.

Pullover Machine Tips

  3. Keep your chest up and shoulders back throughout the exercise to engage the chest muscles.
  4. Initiate the movement by squeezing your shoulder blades together to activate the lats.
  5. Exhale as you pull the handles towards your chest, focusing on contracting the targeted muscles.
