How to perform the Reverse Grip Pullover
- 1Stand facing a high cable machine, grab the bar with an underhand (palms-up) grip a little wider than your shoulders, step back, and lean your upper body slightly forward with your arms straight and hands just above shoulder height.
- 2Keeping your arms mostly straight, pull the bar down in a smooth arc toward your thighs by squeezing your chest and lats, then slowly let it rise back up with control until you feel a stretch. Breathe out as you pull the bar down and breathe in as you return to the starting position.
Coach tips
- Keep your ribs down and abs tight so your lower back doesn’t arch as you pull.
- Think about driving your elbows down and in toward your sides instead of just yanking with your hands to really feel your lats and chest work.
- Move in a slow, controlled way and stop before your shoulders roll forward or you feel any pinching in the front of your shoulders.
