🍎 @ The Gym Doing #PullUps 🌍 Great Upper-Body Strength Exercise 🍁 Healthy4Life 💪

A pull-up is an upper-body strength exercise. The pull-up is a closed-chain movement where the body is suspended by the hands, gripping a bar or other implement at a distance typically wider than shoulder-width, and pulled up. As this happens, the elbows flex and the shoulders adduct and extend to bring the elbows to the torso.
The pullup exercise is one of the most overlooked exercises for building upper body, back, and core strength. It requires a chin-up bar which can come in different forms. For those looking for versatile portable fitness equipment, a pullup workout bar is a good choice. Power racks can also provide a freestanding option. The traditional pullup uses an overhand grip on the bar, while the chin-up is a variation that generally uses an underhand grip. If you are new to pullups, there are many modified versions that can be used to build the strength needed to perform them. Pullups can be part of an upper body strength workout or a circuit training workout. Certain ab machines, like a power tower, are designed to make it easy to incorporate pullups in your fitness routine.
