Power Pull-Ups Fitness

Super fun way to be super strong is doing pull-ups. Building and maintaining muscle is super fun, and here are the cool benefits of doing pull-ups, plus a super handy machine to help do pull-up challenges.

Strengthens the Back

The pullup is one of the most effective exercises for strengthening the back muscles. Pullups work the following muscles of the back: 

• Latissimus dorsi: that spans from the mid-back to under the armpit and shoulder blade 
• Trapezius: located from your neck out to both shoulders
• Thoracic erector spinae: the three muscles that run along your thoracic spine 
• Infraspinatus: assists with shoulder extension and is located on the shoulder blade

Strengthen the arm and shoulder muscles

Pullups also strengthen the arm and shoulder muscles. By performing pullups regularly, you’ll work the forearms and shoulders. If you’re looking to improve your strength in these areas, you should perform pullups regularly. 

If you can’t perform the full pullup, doing them assisted or just getting in the position (hanging from the bar) can increase your strength as you work up to the complete movement.

Improve grip strength

It also can improve performance in many sports like golf, tennis, rock climbing, and bowling. 

In your everyday life, a strong grip is also important for performing tasks like opening jars, walking your dog on a leash, carrying groceries, and shoveling snow.
