Progression of PJR Pullover

PROGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT

Heavier PJR pullover

These steps are written specifically for the Heavier PJR pullover. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Heavier PJR pullover. Add only enough load to preserve the same range, tempo, and position as the easier version.

  2. 02
    Move the pattern

    Bend the elbows and let the weight travel behind the head while the upper arms move slightly back.

  3. 03
    Match the demand

    Treat this version as the only progression; do not add load, range, and tempo at the same time.

  4. 04
    Finish with control

    Keep the ribs controlled and straighten the elbows to bring the weight back over the chest. Reverse with the triceps—not a rib flare.

Heavier PJR pullover is a progression of PJR Pullover. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.

Long range: Long range means the target muscle is challenged as it reaches a longer position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The shoulders and elbows flex together as the dumbbell travels behind the head, taking the long head of the triceps into meaningful length.
