#Pullover Machine Nautilus

Throwback to the Nautilus Pullover Machine from my Blood & Guts back and rear delts workout video.  I like to start my back workouts by pre-exhausting the lats.  The best exercise to do that was a pullover machine as it did not involve the biceps (like most back exercises do to some extent at least).  An alternative to the pullover machine would be to do dumbbell pullovers across a bench.  Although this alternative is half the movement of the pullover machine as there is no resistance once you are over the chest.  A second alternative is to do a standing straight arm pullover on the cable machine.  How have you been training your lats?

Since we recently posted the arrival of one of the oldest Nautilus machines ever made, the Spider Cam Selectorized Pullover, we decided to post another from about the same period. This is the Time Machine Line’s Geared Hip and Back, another spider cam and original size plate machine circa 1971 to 1972. We probably should have posted this one a long time ago because it’s easily one of the best glute machines once you’ve mastered it, but it takes some doing to master. Here’s how to use it. Enter the machine and lay on your back with your shoulders against the shoulder pads. Engage the seatbelt because the movement won’t work without it, just like many other glute machines. Pull up on the left hand lever and hold it up while you use your right hand to crank yourself into position. Just let your legs go back and don’t worry about the round pad staying against your knees. Just crank until you can reach the handles in front of you. Once you’ve cranked forward enough to grip the handles. Press out and down, squeezing the glues hard at the bottom. Perform the desired reps and then press the left hand lever down and you’ll slide away from the round pad and can exit. My apologies to anyone that didn’t want to see that much of my leg, but it was way past time that this beautiful and effective piece of functional art gets showcased and it absolutely needs a QR Code on it so others have the opportunity to use it.

NAUTILUS GEAR in Action ⚙️ (So Satisfying!) #mechanism #mechanicaldesign #gear #3dprinting #engineering This video demonstrates how a Nautilus Gear mechanism works. Unlike conventional circular gears with a constant gear ratio, Nautilus gears use a logarithmic spiral profile. As the gears rotate, the effective contact radius continuously changes, causing the output speed and torque to vary throughout one revolution. When two identical Nautilus gears mesh together, the system produces non-uniform motion: Smaller radius engagement → lower speed, higher torque Larger radius engagement → higher speed, lower torque Despite these fluctuations, the overall gear ratio remains 1:1 per full rotation, making this mechanism ideal for motion control, educational models, and kinetic mechanical design. This simulation highlights why Nautilus gears are fascinating to watch—even if they are rarely used in conventional machinery. 🔑 Key Features (Summary) Variable gear ratio during rotation Logarithmic spiral (nautilus shell–inspired) geometry Smooth transition between speed and torque Overall 1:1 ratio per full revolution Visually engaging and educational mechanism Video reference from ⁨Robothut (Youtube) https://youtu.be/Ru72yi1Dp0g

The number one requested machine since opening @rvairongym - an old school pullover machine 🔥 Many have come since, but few have done it as well as the Nautilus Power Plus Pullover ‼️ This one is fully restored and finally coming home to @rvairongym !

DIY Machine Pullovers. Using my @bellsofsteel cable tower I was able to create my DIY machine pullover. The stretch at the start position is not as the original Nautilus machine but it does an OK job of stimulating the latissimus without involving arm work, so I throw it in at the end of my workouts. #bodybuilding #muscle #gym #fitness #back #art #history #healthy #machine

🔥 NAUTILUS SUPER PULLOVER — FULL TILT FEATURE 🔥 The next piece in the series is a back-training legend. The Nautilus Super Pullover isn’t just another machine — it’s one of the most iconic pieces of strength equipment ever designed. A purpose-built tool created to load the lats through a movement that barbells and cables simply can’t replicate. Engineered by Arthur Jones. Built to challenge the strongest muscles in the upper body. Designed to make the lats do the work. This isn’t just “sit down and pull.” This is: ⚙️ How to set it up correctly (seat position, pad adjustment, arm alignment, controlled range of motion) 📚 The engineering behind it (Nautilus cams, variable resistance, and why the pullover was revolutionary) 🧠 The biomechanics (shoulder extension, lat recruitment, minimizing biceps involvement) 🏆 The purpose (why the pullover can build back width and thickness in a way rows and pulldowns can’t) The Super Pullover was designed to do something most back exercises struggle with: Directly load the lats through their strongest range while keeping the arms out of the equation. No grip limitation. No biceps fatigue. Just pure lat work. Hips locked in. Arms fixed to the pads. Resistance that follows your strength curve. If you care about: • Building true back width • Training the lats without grip or arm limitations • Understanding classic strength equipment • Training with precision instead of momentum Then this one’s for you. We’re not just using the Nautilus Super Pullover. We’re breaking down how to train with one of the most legendary machines ever built — the way it was meant to be used. Full Tilt. No shortcuts. #FullTiltBarbellClubEquipmentSeries #Nautilus #SuperPullover #FYP #Lats
