Pull ups are one of the best exercises for strengthening the back muscles. Doing pull ups will also recruit your biceps, shoulders and pectoral muscles. We at Gravity Fitness believe everyone should be including pull ups into their workouts and believe all men should be able to perform at least 10 strict pull ups and at least 5 for woman – the question is can you?

Pull ups will improve posture by building strength in your “Pull Muscles” which will strengthen and tighten your back over time. As a general rule you should be doing as many pull movements as you are push to ensure balance throughout your body.

Doing overhand grip pullups will predominately use your back muscles, working your biceps as a secondary muscle. To recruit more bicep you should use an underhand grip, performing a chin up.

Whilst the pull up will recruit a small amount of your chest muscles, they are predominately an upper back exercise. Push ups are the opposite movement to a pull up and these will predominately work your chest. Its important that you work both push and pull movements in order to ensure a balanced physic and reduce chances of future injury.

Pull ups will mainly work your upper back muscles, however in order to generate the power needed to pull your body up will engage your core. In fact its essential that you build a strong core in order to perform proper form pull ups.
