Bench Pull-Ups
Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
Bench pull-ups engage the upper body, particularly targeting the back and biceps. They are an effective way to build strength in the upper body by using your own body weight. The exercise primarily helps in developing the latissimus dorsi and improving grip strength.
How to do it
- Start by gripping the pull-up bar with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
- Place one foot on the bench to initiate the movement.
- Pull yourself up until your chin is above the bar, engaging the back muscles.
- Slowly lower yourself back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps.
