What muscles does a pull up bar work?
Pull up bars are a key piece of equipment for any home gym allowing you to perform pull ups, chin ups and suspended crunches. If you grip the bar with your palms facing away from you and pull yourself up, you are performing a pull up. Pull ups are the perfect exercise for strengthening the upper body. Not only do they work the back, biceps, shoulders and forearm muscles, they also impact the abs. For a chin up, grip the bar with your palms facing you and pull yourself up. Some pull up bars are multi functional and depending on which one you choose, can be used as a multi gym and can also act as a sit-up bar and push-up bar to work the chest, shoulders and triceps.
