In my opinion, I believe the dumbbell pullover is a more effective exercise for the intercostals, abdominals, pecs, and long head triceps to be trained. Though this exercise is too often used to speculate that it creates no benefit, I will dare to say that it’s not the most effective for someone looking for back development. As you go through the movement, be sure to depress the shoulders and engage the lats during the up phase. Feel for the stretch in the chest and the expansion of the ribcage, and then “drag” the dumbbell with long arms to a position above the abdominals, in a large arcing pattern. The hips should be raised off the ground, with the feet firmly planted. Hold the dumbbell overhead using both hands (cupped around one end of the bell) and extend the arms back with slightly bent elbows. To start, find a secure bench or step that won’t slide or move under your weight, and set up so your upper back is positioned against one side of it.

They swear by pullovers citing added development and overall trunk thickness. As far as proper technique and efficacy are concerned, the topic has several warring factions, but I’ll agree with the old-school bodybuilders’ view on the move.
