Beschreibung

A pull-up is a strength-training exercise that targets the upper body, particularly the back, shoulders, and arms. It involves gripping an overhead bar with palms facing away from the body (overhand grip) and pulling the body upward until the chin clears the bar. The movement starts with the arms fully extended and the body hanging straight, using the strength of the latissimus dorsi (lats), biceps, and core to pull the body upward. Once the chin reaches or passes the bar, the body is lowered back down with control to the starting position, completing one repetition. Pull-ups require significant upper body strength and are a foundational exercise for building muscle and improving overall body stability.
