Unlike most pullover variations that are performed in a supine position (laying on your back), the kneeling pullovers provide no lumbar support from floor or bench. As a result this combination of a pullover motion combined with a modified crunch absolutely crushes the core.ģ. The kneeling pullover allows a small natural crunching and hip flexion motion to be combined with a pullover similar to a cable crunch movement albeit without the excessive spinal flexion. This further improves glenohumeral joint stability and osteokinematics of the shoulder complex.Ģ. Fortunately the kneeling variations allow the scapula to move freely throughout the entire range of motion producing more natural scapulohumeral rhythm. ![]() ![]() In other words the scapular aren’t free to move but instead are semi-fixed onto another surface. The supine or laying position involved during most if not all pullover exercises dictates that the scapula be pinned against either a bench, pad, ball, or floor. Kneeling pullovers provides 10 unique benefits that can’t be replicated with other pullover variations.ġ. Here I’m performing the basic kneeling variation with bands while my awesome clients Ben Lai and Leslie Petch are performing the half kneeling and single arm variations respectively. Think of this as a pullover exercise combined with a straight arm lat pulldown and modified cable crunch. With that said, one additional variation I’ve recently been tinkering with that I’ve found to be incredibly effective is the kneeling pullover and variations thereof. See my complete library of pullovers here. In fact, over the past several years I’ve highlighted many of these including, the hollow body leg raise variation, eccentric isometric pullovers, BANA eccentric accentuated pullovers, bottoms up pullovers, foam roller variations, glute bridge variations, head off pullovers, t-bench pullovers, kettlebell variations, cable variations, decline pullovers, trap bar pullovers, Chinese plank pullovers, rapid eccentric isometric pullovers, javelin pullovers, ring pullovers and more. With that said I’m always looking for unique and effective ways to modify the pullover to further enhance the effectiveness of the exercise. In addition, they’re also incredibly effective for working the entire musculature of the core as you’re essentially resisting extension forces acting on the spine similar to ab rollouts and planks. Besides improving stability and mobility in the shoulder joint (when performed properly), they also tax nearly every muscle in the upper torso including the lats, chest, triceps, shoulders, and serratus muscles. Pullovers and variations thereof are some of the most underrated upper body movements.
