Right on. I feel my legs more when my heels are elevated. It also allows me to do a deeper squat. Be careful though; some prominent writers have suggested that this practice may lead to knee damage....
That's the general area. But, most of what's circled are the intercostals. The serratus lies right above the intercostals. Move just slightly up and you have it. In order of appearance: lats,...
You circled the intercostals. The serratus lies right above the intercostals.
As for the wonders of the pullover:
UPPER, INNER CHEST FULLNESS. Even Mr. Olympia and the runner up, Victor Martinez believe in the power of the dumbbell pullover. I really can't say enough good...
They isolated the serratus for me because I had an excellent mind-muscle link on those three exercises. Of course, the serratus can't ever really be 100% isolated. I call those three, the isolation...
I forgot to add:
8. HEAVY CHEST WORK
This is the list. It is definitve because there are really no more exercises that will work the serratus like those TOP three. ANY bodybuilding manual and...
To the OP, here is a definitive list of the BEST exercises for serratus development. Again, the top three have isolated the serratus and helped me the most.
1. DUMBBELL PULLOVER (lengthwise, with...
When your arms are extending over the head; it stretches the ribcage and pulls on the serratus muscles. The pullover motion contracts the serratus.

Are you asking if I bench press?
No, not much. I've always been more of an Incline person. I do dips for lower, outer chest and Dumbbell presses for middle chest.
To Flying Fox--
I appreciate your interest in the pullover.
As to how I'm sure: I had very little serratus development until I started doing Nautilus pullovers, dumbbell pullovers, and cable...
The bottom line is that the pullover works the serratus. I have seen it firsthand with myself and dozens of others. It's pointless to try and figure out why--unless you're into that sort of thing.
Yes, that last post was a joke.
The pullover and pullover variation have worked for me in helping build up the serrartus muscles. I don't care why or how it does this--it just does--for me anyway. And apparently for Arnold....
I really didn't read it. I was just trying to be helpful because, in general, exrx has some decent information. In this case, it actually seems to be off.
This analysis is somewhat off. But, it gives some details.
