Benefits of Pull-Ups

Back muscles

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

• Latissimus dorsi: largest upper back muscle that runs 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

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.

Grip strength

Pullups also help improve grip strength. Grip strength is important if you lift weights.

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

Body strength

Strength or resistance training can increase your overall fitness level. When you’re performing a pullup, you’re lifting your entire body mass with the movement. This can greatly improve your body strength and even improve your health.

Physical health

Strength or resistance training with exercises like pullups may also improve overall physical health. Regularly performing strength training may help reduce visceral fat.

It can also help reduce resting blood pressure and may reduce back pain and discomfort associated with arthritis and fibromyalgia.
