WHAT MUSCLES DO PULL-UPS WORK?

To understand why pull-ups are so important, it helps to induce a sense for the particular muscles this exercise targets and the way the unique motion of the pull-up works several areas at an identical times.

The main muscles involved when you undertake a pullup are as follows.

Your back muscles or Latissmus Dorsi mucle

At first glance, the pull-up appears like the sort of movement that's dominated by the arms and shoulders. However, pull-ups primarily target the latissimus dorsi, a large muscle in your back, this helps to give you extra core strength and is one of the many good things about undertaking an exercise like a pull up, as it works a larger range of complex groups.

Your arms or Bicep muscles

Although your lats do tons of the work, stabilizer muscles within the arms and back also play a crucial role in completing each repetition, your biceps, for instance, are essential for pull-ups. Likewise, your brachialis and brachioradialis muscles are often targeted with a couple of quick pull-ups.

These muscles need a lot of stimulation to get them going, a pull up though is a good choice for some high intensity workouts to start building these muscles. You can further increase the effectiveness of these workouts with a couple of tweaks (such as reducing the amount of space between your hands), the pull-up can shift from being a primarily lat-oriented exercise to a bicep-heavy move.

Upper back and shoulders

Don't be surprised if your back and shoulders feel sore the day after you perform many pull-ups. Muscles in these areas assist the lats but may feel even more burn, This may be because you haven't worked them much before and also because they are such big muscles.

Located at the rear of the shoulder, the posterior deltoid is recruited to assist with every repetition of the pull-up. The lower and middle portions of the trapezius also spring into action, assisting with both the concentric and eccentric portions of the pull-up.

Chest and your Pectoral muscles 

Not a muscle you would normally expect to be associated with the pull up but pectoral muscles do actually help with every pull-up, although the their role is quite a minor one. Still, if you are looking to streamline your workout and want an option which will provide your pecs a modest boost, the pull-up should be your go-to move.
