What are the benefits of pull-ups?

Pull-ups are a very simple exercise and everyone knows this exercise. As we all know, the pull-up movement involves holding the horizontal bar with both hands, concentrating the whole body's strength on the arms, and using the whole body's strength to support the body. This exercise can show how great the limit of a person's physical strength is. Pull-ups can train arm strength and increase body strength. So what are the benefits of pull-ups?

Benefits of doing pull-ups regularly:

1. When doing pull-ups, the body should hang down naturally at the same time. This can relax the muscles of the waist and back, which is helpful for growing taller. At the same time, rhythmic inhalation and exhalation can exercise the body's cardiopulmonary function.

2. When doing pull-ups, you need to use the latissimus dorsi muscles of the human body to contract, so that you can pull yourself up with your arms bent, until your chin is slightly above the bar or the back of your neck is close to the bar. Therefore, it seems that regular pull-up exercises can train the body's back muscles, shoulder muscles, as well as our upper arm muscles and chest muscles.

3. For people with overweight, they can also achieve weight loss through pull-up exercises. Pull-ups can double the strength of the upper limbs and shoulder straps. For this method of weight loss, it is also necessary to control the weight in time and follow up on the implementation of the weight loss plan.

4. Pull-ups require both hands to hold the horizontal bar at a certain width and distance, and the muscular torso needs to be straightened. This can exercise the shoulders, increase the width of the shoulders, and enhance the strength of the arms and waist.

Don’t underestimate the pull-up exercise. It is very difficult for many overweight friends to do it, especially because they have to use their hands to support the whole body’s strength. It can not only exercise the arms, but also the chest muscles to reduce body fat and improve physical fitness.
