Yes. With incline shoulder raises sometimes, and they work with benching.
Why? Why wouldnt I?

I wouldn't say i directly train the serratus anterior but i do indirectly from Heavy incline benching and alot of other chest exercises where the serratus is required.

So the best exercise for this muscle is a pullover? With dumbbells?

haha, i think you kind of miss the spirit of bodybuilding somewhere, plus, can't really see your serraus in ur avatar... so they can't be THAT great!Originally Posted by Devils

Back to thread though, I started doing those rope pull-downs as arnie said/did and they did awesome work, then I got lazy and just started powerlifting to break some plateaus which was great, but yeah the whole philosphy of powerlifting = no "abs" and no "lower back" just one piece- CORE... so yeah, midsection doesn't look anywhere as 'nice' as it once did -_-

I don't meant to exaggerate but for me SA is the most important muscle for the Upper body. The reason is simple, if your SA is strong scapula will remain always close to the Thoracic cage, which will ensure maximum contraction for the Trapezius, Lats and this will affect the Chest muscles too etc etc,

Like most of the others, they come into play during benches and pullovers, but I do them primarily for chest and back.
Keep on hulkin'.
I won't quit till no shirt will fit.

Not directly anymore, although I used to do pullovers frequently.
Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

If you're hard core into the sport of bodybuilding...For sure you need to develop everything as symmetrically as possible.
Any kind of pullover (dumbbells, barbells, cables, machines) should hit that area nicely.

Pullovers and ESPECIALLY Woodchoppers. I do Hi/Lo DB Woodchoppers and they kill my serrats!
