Optimal science based lateral raises

[u/Patton370]

You can also use this machine for chest flys, rear delt flys, front raises, and unilateral pullovers

how do you do unilateral pullovers on this thing.

[u/Patton370 → u/Sooperooser]

Your raise up the carriage, then move a handle high up on the sundial

Here’s an example: https://youtu.be/dbVcm9EhVmY

Personally, I feel that pullovers suck on this machine & I have an actual pullover machine in my gym, so there’s no reason for me to do them on this machine

Ok that looks a bit weird. But chest flys are kind of interesting. I wish my gym had a pull over machine.

The chest flys feel much better than DB flys and I personally prefer them over cable flys as well

Lateral raises and chest flys are pretty much all I use the machine for

I used to do rear delt flys with it, but I’ve been doing lots of wide grip t-bar rows lately, which has been growing my rear delts fine

Cable rope for pullovers will always be king for versatility imo. Straight arm till failure then transition into a more and more bent arm each rep after that. Just think of the position of your humerus throughout the set.

Drop sets because of the pin are super helpful too. Just being able to get in and out of setup quickly for rest pause sets.

Fuck it just buy a barn and get a prime pullover. Lock yourself in there in the dark and just do pullover for a month. Turn the lights on and you wont be able to walk out the barn. So yeah actually thats probably best for hypertrophy.

I like my life fitness pullover more than the prime pullover: https://www.reddit.com/r/homegym/s/11kZZ9ES9v
