Pull-ups

Pull-ups are a challenging but highly effective upper body exercise that primarily targets the back, shoulders, and arms. This compound movement requires significant strength and coordination, making it an excellent measure of upper body fitness. Pull-ups improve grip strength, shoulder stability, and overall upper body development while also engaging the core for stability. The exercise can be modified for different skill levels, from assisted pull-ups using bands to advanced variations like muscle-ups. Regular practice of pull-ups develops functional strength that translates to everyday activities and sports performance.
