The pullover is an exercise that is performed with either a dumbbell or a barbell.[1] Pullovers can be made to affect either the chest or the back depending on how wide the grip is (barbell) and the position of the shoulders. It targets Pectoralis major, Pectoralis minor, Triceps brachii, Lattismus dorsii and Teres major muscle among other muscles of the chest.[2]
A research done on the pullover movement using a barbell suggested more effect on the pectoralis major muscle as compared to the latissimus dorsi.[3]
