The Pullup is the ultimate bodyweight bodybuilding exercise. It builds your back, forges a vice-like grip & sculpts a V-shaped torso. Think of it like a spine-friendly deadlift for your upper body. Hanging from a bar decompresses your spine to nourish & hydrate your intervertebral discs.

Why are pullups such a struggle for most people? One, it involves all of your bodyweight. Two, your arms are overhead. This extreme joint angle challenges your mobility & stability to the max.
