Bending your knees relieves some pressure from your spine.

No Milk, no.
Milk is for babies. When you grow up, you have to drink beer. Please read and comment on my journal |

Using arms straight you are you moving the weight farther away your body's center of gravity. So when you dip the weight down behind your head, more chance of losing controlling of the weight behind your head. So just use lighter weight if you use that method. I don't like either at all though.

I've gave pull-overs a go. I found them to be okay. I don't know the difference between straight arms and bent but I imagine bent arms would flex the lats more no? What do you want to do them for? I did them primilary for my pecs but I did get good results with them for the very top of my lats.

Cow Pimp - If you don't train your legs you're a dumbfuck. I'm not going to elaborate on why. If it isn't obvious to you, then you deserve the marginal results that you get and hideously unbalanced/injury prone physique that you will build.

I did them yesterday with bent arm focussing on triceps.
I can really feel my triceps today. |

i did them yesterday too. i think straight arm is more focusing on the lats. cause you'd be psuhing the weight far away from your body and you'd be squeezing your lats to get it back up. i did em yesterday in my w/o but i did bent arm and it hit my chest/tri's pretty good.

I do them with a slight bend in the arms and legs as well as slow-VERY slow on the release portion of the exercise. It really allows me to feel the work being done.

When you start adding a lot of weight (100+) you'll find yourself bending your arms more often. There's no way you can rush this excercise without getting injured.
Having a Dumbbell passing over your face is not something you want to take likely.  |
