TweetPretty popular exercise at my gym. I want to use the movement to work chest but I end up feeling it in my lats. Not a bad thing but I have target muscles I want to isolate with certain movements.
TweetWho still do these? I've always kept them in my routine. If Arnold swore by them, you can't go wrong ya know??

TweetI feel them in my last if I go too heavy or go farther than eye level. If I keep the weight relatively light and go no farther than eye level I feel it a lot more in my chest

TweetLove um! Heavy. Great for expanding your ribs
TweetI do not do them often. I just run out of time but will do a couple light sets. Helps my poor flexibility too.
TweetHas anyone else ever let one of these slip out their hands and almost scalp them? Asking for a friend?

TweetReally need to add it back in, I have done a light weight decline version of it at the end of check workouts once in awhile.
Like a few have said, on the old school style my lats end up pumping way fast then my chest.

Tweetall about how far you are going back and how far you are coming up. for lats you want to go all the way back into the stretch as far as possible and only come back up to the top of the forehead at most and contract the lats hard. these are done best by laying the normal way you do on a bench for pressing but hanging your head off the end a bit. for chest you dont want to go back as far into the stretch to engage the lat. maybe online with the top of your head or a little short. then pull to the top of your ab wall and squeeze the pecs. these are done best by laying cross way on the bench and keeping your butt down as low as possible. if all else fails use a machine version haha
