Pull-ups can certainly exercise your arms. Pull-ups can exercise latissimus dorsi, trapezius, teres major, teres minor and erector spinae, as well as biceps brachii and uterine muscles.

Do pull-ups exercise your arms? How's it going?

The first thing to answer is that pull-ups can exercise the arm, especially the biceps brachii, but it is mainly a training action to practice the back. When we use pull-ups to exercise our arms, we can adopt two variants to make them more focused on training our arms:

First, the narrow distance pull-ups, because this action is a narrow distance, the shoulder abduction is limited, and the elbow flexion and extension are strengthened, which means that this action is more focused on training our biceps brachii.

Second, backhand pull-ups, backhand pull-ups are the kind of grip with the palm backward. The trajectory of this grip makes it impossible for our scapula to contract backwards like forehand pull-ups, so most of it is the biceps brachii, which plays a training role in the arm.

These are my two methods, and I hope they can help you.

Very good, very energetic! Pull-ups can not only exercise strong arms, but also strengthen back muscles and form an inverted triangle! Pull-ups are the best compound training movements for upper limbs.

Pull-ups, although the arm moves from the outside, it is not just one arm. Its main muscle groups are the back muscle group based on latissimus dorsi, the arm flexion muscle group based on biceps brachii and the forearm grasping muscle group, and the waist and abdomen core muscle group also plays a stable role in sports.

If you want to exercise your arm more pertinently in pull-ups, I suggest taking the backhand grip, which will better stimulate the biceps brachii. At the same time, short-distance training is also more aimed at the arm, whether it is forehand or backhand.

Although pull-ups can exercise arm muscles, most people don't use them as arm exercises. This is because its main function is to exercise the back, and the "king of back training" is pull-ups. Moreover, the pull-ups are not difficult, and the average person can't complete the standard pull-ups with high frequency (the elastic band helps to reduce the difficulty). Therefore, most people still exercise their arms by bending instruments, which is convenient for adjusting strength, and it is also a feeling of isolated training.

If you don't have the equipment training conditions, I suggest the horizontal pull-ups of the low bar backhand. The operation is as follows:

This action intensity is not high, suitable for beginners, and the feeling of training is easy to find. After a period of training, you will be stronger in backhand narrow pull-ups

Upward arousal is a good strength exercise. When doing this exercise, the muscles of hands, arms, back, shoulders and abdomen can be mobilized. No matter how wide or narrow the grip is, you can exercise your hand strength and improve your grip strength. If you hold it wide, it will help to develop latissimus dorsi, and exercising latissimus dorsi is a golden move. Lead to better development of biceps brachii and muscle development, and naturally there will be strength!

In the previous picture, the demonstration is very clear:

The most obvious are the biceps brachii and latissimus dorsi of the arm, and many small muscles of the shoulder and back.

Pull-ups are a multi-muscle coordinated action, which can not only exercise latissimus dorsi, but also exercise arm muscles well.

The first is the forearm muscles. The action of grasping the horizontal bar by hand itself is to exercise the grip strength. With the increase of difficulty, exercise grip strength with one hand or weight. Of course, the muscle of grip strength is forearm muscle.

Secondly, in the process of pulling up and down, I also exercised the biceps and triceps of my upper arm well. Of course, if you hold the bar with backhand, the effect of practicing biceps brachii will be better!

Third, it also has a certain stimulating effect on deltoid muscle. The author understands that forehand pull-ups will stimulate deltoid muscle more strongly.

Pull-ups are one of the golden fitness movements, which are simple and efficient. It is one of the six techniques and ten styles of prisoner fitness, which can exercise multiple muscles at the same time. For beginners, do more pull-ups and don't even spend time exercising your arm muscles!

Exercise arm strength and core strength of waist and abdomen.

It can be attached to the arm. In general, the back is the main force.

Long-distance training is more in the back and backhand training is more in the arm.

Yes, but if you want to get thicker, you still have to weigh it.

I never practice my arms, but my arms are thicker than those at the same level in the gym. The reason is that I often practice pull-ups and push-ups. Narrow grip pull-ups and diamond push-ups are the core movements of arm training. After training, they are much stronger than the simple Yaling bend, and the key effect is quick.
