I came up with a pullover for those of us without a pullover machine that I have not seen elsewhere. Required is a lat pulldown machine.
Attach two ab slings to the lat pulldown machine. Place elbows in ab sling and assume seated position. With elbows move slings down.
This exercise moves at only one joint (rotator cuff) and I find is effective at isolation of the lats.
I suppose it is similar to a straight arm pushdown but with that exercise there is stress on the elbow.

I gave this a try day before yesterday and subbed it for the lat pulldown in my workout. I generally don't have muscle soreness lately, but my lats have been sore for a couple of days (I'm taking two rest days), so this wrinkle got their attention. I don't think the range of motion is quite as great as with the old nautilus pullover machine I used 30+ years ago, but obviously it does work quite well.
Perrymk, that was a brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing it.

Looks like a great routine. Do you have a suggestion of the ultimate routine for chest? What would it look like?
As well as ultimate routine for legs?
Thank you

Dr. Darden, If I am on a 3x per week workout schedule(M-W-F) and try a specialization routine such as the ultimate lat routine, should I just workout 2x per week(Tues and Thurs) when performing such a routine?
Or would it be recommended to keep the Wendsday workout as a NTF and not involve any exercises that directly target the back on that day?

Twice a week would be my recommendation. But I'd train on Monday and Thursday, or Monday and Friday, not Tuesday and Thursday.

Dr. Darden -
I have always wanted to find and try the behind-neck machine. I have access to a Nautilus pullover, and I find that my triceps and rear delts fail before I really feel it in my lats. In fact, if I haven't done the exercise in a while, the pullover machine makes my tri's very sore, but not my lats. The only thing that makes my lats sore is a set of negative only chins. Could I be doing the pullover wrong?

The Behind-Neck was one of the stations on Jones's first machine, called the Blue Monster, which he displayed at the 1970 Mr. America contest. The guy in the Behind-Neck in the article is Joe Means.
Ellington in the photo with joe means it looks like he is doing the behind the neck with bent elbows? in your book advance bodybuilding there is another version and you desrcibe how to use machine with arms straight and with arms behind head and crossed at forearms. which way is correct? i have been doing it like joe means with bent elbows -when weight get heavy i found that the arms wanted to come forward. it hard to stop arms going forward if you do with bent arms? any tip on how to use correctly?

The Pullover was, and is still, one of the most popular of all Nautilus machines. And I always like the Behind-Neck, but I haven't seen one in a gym in more than a dozen years.
Ellington hi i have a torso arm behind neck and a behind neck torso arm machine. in your book you say keep elbows back? how do position your body to get elbows back?
do i have to hunch my upper back?
does your head stay tucked down during all set?
and in the first nautilus book they do a lat pull down with underhand grip and pull bar down to chest and back is kept against pad. can i do underhand grip on both my old nautilus machines?
you dont show these in your book?
i also have a torso arm 3 and there is no instructions on how to use it. does my back stay against pad? or lean forward during pulldown? and do i keep elbows pointed back like you say in earlier version of torso arm machine?

You can do the torso arm in two ways. One, keep the torso back and with a narrow grip, pull the bar to your chest. Two, lean forward, keep your elbows back, and with a wider parallel grip, pull the bar behind your neck.
