  I very rarely do pullovers, and when I do I use my roman chair (with safety bench raised to rest my upper back on) so I can hook my feet. I use big enough plates that I can start on the floor. It’s a great exercise, but when I’m working my upper back I usually rather do rows or pulldowns. Al

  Don’t know if it’s related to the Half-Moon bench used for Pullovers. Didn’t Dan Lurie used to make one??
