Pull-ups are a challenging bodyweight exercise where you hang from a bar and pull yourself up until your chin clears the bar. They are considered the gold standard for upper body pulling strength, primarily targeting the latissimus dorsi (lats) while engaging the biceps, forearms, and core. Pull-ups require lifting your entire body weight, making them one of the most demanding bodyweight exercises. They build a strong, V-shaped back and develop grip strength that carries over to many sports and activities.
