Why not just buy a pullover machine?

because it costs 15 thousand dollars. and at a time in my life i could throw away 15 thousand dollars but that time is not now and now i understand the value of 15 thousand dollars lol
Biggest issue of any of these is you donāt get a camā¦so they wonāt feel anything like the real thing. Even if you do build in a cam somehow it still wonāt be the same cam profile. Sort of analogous to modern archery where every bow draw is unique to the cam, draw length, and poundage.
But it is a fun DIY problem to think on.
Have you searched for pullover machines online? There are quite a few, but you might be looking for perfection, and would want to ātry it before you buy itā
yupā¦ tension curve and resistance curve is something iāll forego but still i would have direct and rotary movement which will suffice. just taking the biceps out of the movement is a giant leap forward.
the reason for arthurās genius is he accounted for everything , tension curve, and direct rotary work. range of motion. everything so well done.
Anyone asking 15k is ridiculous
I just googled pullover machines for sale and the prices range from 400 to 6k
low lat activation
shut up man go back in your mole hole
Check Facebook marketplace or Craigslist. Theyāll have way better prices and local pickup
I donāt have facebook im too young for that shit
Iām just trying to help save you cash. You could make an account just for using marketplace. A lot of people do that. And with Craigslist you donāt need an account
yeah i will thanks for telliNG me but also the problem with facebook might be getting people to reply
maybe a completely upside down dumbbell pullover would make more sense

Maybe on a decline bench. I donāt think Iād want to be all the way upside down, even if hooking it up were practically easy. All that blood in my head and exertion seem like a poor combination.
the more vertically upside down the more effective it would be but stopping just short of complete vertical would prevent blood to the head

upside down on a super decline like the opposite of a an overhead press incline bench but not completely 90 degrees , which is fine because the bench would be on an elevated platform like two cinderblocks giving you more range of motion for your arms to extend beyond where your head stops at, this would would work great for dumbbell pullovers but even better for barbell pullovers, would could be further improved if you used the those hanging elbow shoulder straps people using for doing abs on chinup bars, but instead you put the barbell through it

probably the most cost effective way to go about it if i could jerry rig my own out of materials or find a cheaper version. but yes this would replicate it for way less
