1) Barbell pullovers.

This is a variation of the Dumbbell pullover exercise presented in the “chest” sectn. It works both the lower lats and the serratus anterior. Lying back on a horizontal bench the subject holds the barbell at arms length above of his/her chest. Arms slightly bent he/she then lovers it backward behind his/her head until the lats and serratus stretch no more.
Then slowly raises it back to starting position keeping the weight under control at all times.
Special note:
- this is also a great ribcage-extender exercise.
- remember to keep the arms bent a bit. This will minimize the strain on the elbows.
