Kai Greene swears by machine pullovers
While some bodybuilders believe in weight training for bodybuilding, Kai Greene recommended something different. The icon once revealed the benefits of doing machine pullovers. He cited his own example, stating that pullovers helped him pre-exhaust his back. He explained “There are some things I do for back that most bodybuilders don’t do. One is pullovers.”
With the help of a Nautilus pullover machine or a pulldown station, the champion would train his back. Pullovers did not require bicep strength. Therefore, he would focus on training his back and lats muscles. This is important in bodybuilding, as training those muscles help build a bigger form. The legend would then transition to exercises that involved both his back and arms.
