I did these last Tuesday and I have only been able to raise my arms above my head today ! Awesome exercise
 
What do you guys mean by opening your ribcage ? Also would this exercise best be done on chest day or back day ?
 
Back day - given that I personally feel it most in the back, I find it well suited to back day.

Chest day - other than if you find it works your chest more than your back, when I do it on chest day I feel like my back is getting hit a second time for the week.
 
Hey guys

What is the best way to kick start this exercise? Someone hands you the dumbbell from behind? Carry the dumbbell from the front position and lay down on the bench?

Looking for the best/comfortable way to start off

It's good, Gary Jones did away with the lever which brings the arm forward so as the increase the range of movement, people were hurting themselves on the nautilus.
The strength curve is better on the last 250 mm to the belly button.

I find this exercise targets my triceps more than anything else. Am i doing something wrong?

Also. I struggle to bench afterwards :(

Sir, as I have mentioned in the original post: the long head of the triceps… that is the meaty/huge/hanging part of the triceps is worked to the max with this exercise. So the answer to your question is no Sir, you're not doing anything wrong.

Using a DB I concur,two of the triceps crosses over the shoulder the other inserts into the shoulder blade.

This is where the machine pullover comes into its own, the resistance is directly on the elbow through an incredible 270 degrees movement, compared to 60 degrees movement on a wide grip behind neck pull up.
 
Does anyone else feel there shoulder/s getting jacked doing this? l've been doing these for 6-8ish weeks and my left shoulder is starting to feel like shit when im in the bottom or the motion.... Am l just doing this wrong?
