A Pull Up is a compound exercise where an individual hangs from a horizontal bar and pulls themselves upward until their chin surpasses the bar. This movement primarily targets the muscles in the upper body, including the latissimus dorsi, biceps bacchii, and trapezius.

To perform a pull up, grasp the bar with an overhand grip slightly further than shoulder-width apart. Start from a dead hang position with your arms fully extended. Engage your core and pull your body upward by bending your elbows and contracting your back muscles, ensuring your chin rises above the bar before lowering yourself back to the starting position.

Pull Ups are effective for several reasons. They build upper body strength, enhance grip strength, and improve muscle endurance. Additionally, they engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously, making them a functional and time-efficient exercise.
