pec questions

Its the same exercise either way.

i feel the stretch in my chest, but its the lats that pull your arms...the chest is a pressing muscle.
looks like bodybuilding.com has it entered wrong in their database.
 
On this video Rusty Jeffers seems to say that the pullover is a chest exercise?
It also seems that a cable crossover has the same movement as the pullover (pulling as opposed to pushing) yet it is also considered a chest exercise. I am confused.
 
cable crossover is for chest, its a fly movement, pressing the arms together using the pecs primarily.

unfortunately I can't view video at work so I'll have to remember to check your link at home.

i'm not saying the chest isn't used for pull overs...just that its not hte primary muscle used/targeted.
 
Ive seen the pullover used primarily as a chest exercise although it's too uncomfortable for me to perform. Judging by the movement, I'd say it's more lats though.
