More On Bentarm Barbell Pullovers

Three cheers for the mighty and loyal lurking spectators, for whom we are a voice.

Stiff arm pullovers can be done with a single DB, grasping the inside plate with the hands flat and spread or with a bent bar, most commonly the close grip. A long time standard in my workouts; lats primarily. Because of the extended arm position acting as a lever and subsequent huge load on the shoulders, elbows and related insertions, a truly heavy weight cannot be used.

The bentarm pullover, because it is done with the arms bent, cannot be performed feasibly with a dumbell. Got something to do with the skull and nose. Thus, the bar. I did them for the first time in a long time...this group's gonna make a man outta me, yet...and used a short oly bar. Upper body squat...good one, Mr. Keyes.

Shawn, no, I haven't seen my friend since. Curious. I thought about it. Thanks for archive help, BTW. Can I borrow your truck?

FRANK. Get in the gym or me and da boys break ya pinkies.

Chris . . . . barbell curls are the all time best bicep builders. Sometimes it's fun to superset them with dips between chairs when you feel like hitting arms only for the sheer joy of it. Try 10 sets of 10 without pausing. Cyclopean upper body pump, Man.

Gotta love it. God bless . . . . . . . . dd
