Overall chestCoach's Tips
Pullover is a good workout to target the entire upper body. You can target the outside of the chest muscles by holding the barbell with shoulder width!
How to Barbell Pullover
Starting Position
1. Lie on your back on a flat bench with a barbell held above your chest.
2. Make sure that your feet are firmly planted on the floor and your core is engaged.
Proper Form
1. Keeping your arms slightly bent, slowly lower the barbell behind your head until your arms are in line with your torso.
2. Pause for a moment and then press the barbell back up to the starting position, using your lats.
Breathing Technique
1. Exhale as you lower the barbell behind your head.
2. Inhale as you press the barbell back up to the starting position.
Precautions
