Pull-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.

∙ 14y agoPull-ups are pretty much a power exercise for your upper body. As you pull yourself up and down you are working your biceps, deltoids, latissimus dorsi or lats as they are normally called, pactorals, bracjioradialis (lower arm), abdominals, and your triceps.

What is the Antagonist for a pull up?
The antagonist muscle group for a pull up is the pectoralis major, which is primarily responsible for shoulder adduction and internal rotation. In addition, the biceps brachii serves as a synergist muscle during the movement.
What muscle is primary one targeted in a pull up?
The traditional pull up is a so-called `compound` exercise, which means it targets most of the muscle groups of the upper body (so basically it trains your entire upper body fairly equally). In my experience though, the muscles which grew tired the most after every pull up workout and in long-term grew the most were the obliques and shoulder muscles.
Muscle targeted in pull ups?
All pull-up variations will target the back muscles. It is an overall dominant back movement. The muscle group which will be worked hard are the lats and the traps. These are two of the larger muscle groups in the back. Almost all of the back muscles will assist in this movement. Also, your bicep and forearms will be involved and can be experienced as "sore" the day after doing pull-ups. The pull-up next to bent over rows and dead-lifts are considered to be a staple for back training.
Primary muscle in a pull up?
latissimus dorsi
How do you pull a muscle in your diaphragm?
Your diaphragm IS muscle. When we inhale, it is pushed down. When we exhale, it is pulled up.
What mucsle is the one targeted in a pull-up?
Latissimus dorsi. This is the large and flat muscle of the back. It is inserted in the groove on the humerus between the insertions of teres major and pectoralis major muscles. Jokingly called as lady between two majors.
Which muscle is the primary one-targetted in a pull up?
