On your left Dave Wiler shows the beginning

exercise, while on

of a "barbell pull over" your right Harry Geldfarb shows the exercise in further progress. This exercise is excellent for

developing the lattisimus dorsi muscles ("lats") as well as the pectorals ("pecs"). The weight shown with Dave is somewhat heavier than it is usually desirable to use (about 87) The average 150 lb man will get plenty of good out of this exercise if he limits himself to as little as 20 lbs, adding more weight only after he finds he can handle the lighter weight easily and correctly and actual-

ly feels the need for a greater resistance. Dave Wiler is a career man in the USMC, while Harry Geldfarb runs a gymnasium in Germany.

On your left GARY CLEMONS is at the completion of a two am strict curl. Note that his hands are close together. He will now let the barbell go slowly down to arms length, rest a moment and then just as slowly bring the barbell back to his chest. This builds biceps.

On your right: HOWARD COOPER does a bench press with hands close together. Most exercisers would have the hands further apart for this exercise, but all weight trainers may vary every exercise a bit to meet his own needs. Bench pressing is another maximum-benefit-for-energy-expended exercise which should be on everyone's training program, because it builds your arms, biceps, triceps, shoulders, lats, and pecs all at the same time.
