  • The Barbell Pullover

    • The Barbell PulloverSteve Stanko Demonstrates
    The Barbell Pullover    		It used to be that benches didn't have uprights on them which mean if you wanted to do "the bench press" (or the supine press, as it was originally called), you had to do a pullover off the floor with the weight to get it in the proper position.

    ... And it was found that the pullover by itself turned out to be a fine exercise.

    That's Mr. America and Mr. Universe winner Steve Stanko demonstrating the barbell pullover off a 16" bench with 322 pounds -- pretty impressive!
