Mainly back and bicep. Or specifically the sternal portion of the pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, teres major, posterior deltoid, the rhomboids, the middle and lower portions of the trapezius, and the elbow flexors. It also depends on if you're doing chin ups, pull ups or lat pull ups.

∙ 14y agoPull-ups primarily target the latissimus dorsi muscle group in the back, though many other muscles are involved in the movement. These assisting muscles include the brachialis, brachioradialis, biceps brachii, teres major, deltoid muscle, infraspinatus, teres minor, rhomboids, levator scapulae, trapezius lower, trapezius middle, and pectoralis minor. [3] The involvement of the biceps brachii however in the pull-up is much smaller than that of the chin-up, given the biomechanical disadvantage of the elbow when grasping the bar in a pronated position.
Since multiple joints are utilized, pull-ups are known as a compound exercise.
