babyblues is an unknown quantity at this point
pullovers

Does anyone do them? What exactly do they work? Chest or back? I have heard both. I've been throwing them in at the end of back day. I use the cable machine and stand with the bar starting above my head and pull it down to my thighs with my arms straight. Just wondering if anyone ever does them or finds them useful at all.

I love pullovers. I do them for back, lying on a flat bench and using a dumbbell. I find that they make my back, triceps, and sometimes obliques sore. I do hear people get a sore chest as well, but I never do.

I loved doing pull over with my chest/ Back routine. Chest and back on same day has gotten to exhausting for me. The pull over stretchs my chest and lats but works the back. I really love a machine where you can pump and flair the lats out.

i do them on chest days...bc if you do them correctly...they work your lower chest also..and make sure you dont keep your arms straight...keep your elbows slighty bent while doing the exercise...it stretches my lats and works good for my chest....

I have no fear of fainting. I do squats until I fall over and pass out. So what? It's not going to kill me. I wake up five minutes later and I'm OK. A lot of other athletes are afraid of this. So they don't pass out. They don't go on."

There is some stress on the lower (and upper) chest, but that's not your target muscle. Here's three different ways to do it. They are all classified as back/lat exercises.

I don't get much out of the dumbell variety, but there was an old-school nautilus pullover machine at the gym I used to work at that was awesome. When I was at my biggest I barely fit in it but it was awesome.
