It works the serratus anterior pretty hard which is one of the most important muscles for scapula mobility, i will start doing it too

Zane is a legend love this content 💪🏻

This was awesome . Love seeing frank doing this .

been doing pullovers every week for awhile, by far the best chest pump you’ll get out of any exercise through your entire chest. also brings out your seratus

One of the few people who can tell Mike he's doing it wrong and to not do it that way again. and Mike is like....Alright Dad. haha!

Frank Zane was ripped af bk in the day !!

YEA sucks to age man

I was taught this exercise at about 1990 when I was about 14 years old and was told that because I was about to hit my growth spurt, this exercise would help expand my rib cage. It's a great exercise I look forward to doing.

You cannot expand your rib-cage. That's impossible... It would be like saying that curls make your arms longer, or squatting makes you taller.. Lifting weights increases muscle mass/strength and bone density... it does not make bones grow.

@@frankz479 Maybe the young lady didn't know what she was talking about but I was thinking maybe there is a relationship between muscle development and the positioning and growth of certain skeletal structures. Maybe not.

I love this exercise!! I try to incorporate it whenever I do triceps. And no, I have NEVER, ever injured myself doing this highly effective exercise. So thank you both, Frank ZANE & Mike O'HEARN!

This is not a trice workout buddy , if ur targeting ur troves with this ur doing it wrong. This is meant for your last and chest , triceps are secondary muscles here if you are doing it right

@@lakerfox I understand you. I never said that I do this for Triceps. I said, that I try to incorporate it to my triceps workout. I know it does lats and chest. But thanks for the input.

Been doing dumbell pullovers like that for going on 20 years, one of my favorites

Mr: Frank Zane . Thanks for the advice . I like doing Pullovers very much , but same situation with elbows . I must change this. I was watching several video from Arnold How he doing this , and he working like piston . Nice good stretch . But i did not pay attention on the elbows . now I know . You and Arnold always will be example how to correctly train . There is not any secret or magic pills ,just dedication and hard work. I feel better now in my age 48 ,then When I was 20-30 .. I Have signed magazine from you The Zane body . When you flexing and sucking stomach in its look like cobra . Awesome

I understand pullovers are a lat movement.....I also understand that the guys from the 70s such as Zane and Arnold did it to build their chest..... 2 questions: how does one work the chest with pullovers because I feel my lats ? And lastly , what part of the chest is working the most ? Thanks

@@earlcoles5215 every time I do chest&back exercises I finished with pullover. Good stretch for upper pectoral and the serrations muscle . Ever time I do that, I see my pectoral much higher for sure . And good stretches in latissimus 💪🏻

I still do these. Fantastic pump, and it was also Arnold's favorite movement.

I remember doing that exercise all the time, it was one of my favorites!

Wow so weird! I literally did this as part of my workout less than 15 mins ago.i did it at a slight decline, ive previously done them like zane does and its prob better than i did them today. Will bring it back next time. Always funny how everyone thinks they know better than Zane, Arnold, Franco, Mike etc lol love old school training, feels more real and applicable to strength

He is off the juice plus he is old.

This is great and love how Zane talks so old school.

I haven't done them for a couple of years. I love the stretch it gives my spine. Good to see Frank looking so well. When I first went to a gym in the late 70's he was Mr Olympia. Although I didn't have the genetics, he had the physique which was more achievable. Don't know if he was, but he looked natural. But whatever, that was an incredible body which took an incredible amount of hard work and dedication.

A legend learning from a bigger legend 💪🏻

A fountain of knowledge lost on todays bodybuilders

Started doing pullovers from the beginning back in the late fifties but with a barbell, as done by Eiferman and I think Reeves. Being a young teen with soft cartilage at the time it expanded my rib cage and gave me a great foundation for my chest. Now, at the age of 78 I’ve been making a comeback from Covid and am back up to a 44” chest at 5’7, 165(with my prosthetic). Great exercise, with a barbell or dumbbell.

God bless! Thank you for sharing the knowledge!

Maybe bcz its a shit exercise

Nah it’s pretty good. Gets the lats good and the side of your chest, tris and is thought to expand the rib cage muscles when done with deep breathing.

Back in the late 80’s we did a Chest and Back, Shoulders and Arms split. Those were at the end of our Chest and Back day. Great stretch and pump.

My ears are the only thing working when legends are teaching. Can't get enough of these old-school methods.

This has been a staple on my chest day routine for years

LOVE YOUR STUFF BROTHER!!!
