— traditional pull-ups, usually performed on the horizontal bar (see "Additional equipment"). The specific types of muscles involved in this exercise depend on the type (direct, reverse) and width of the grip, as well as some features of the technique. However, anyway, pulling up intensely loads the latissimus dorsi and large round muscles of the back. With a direct grip, the shoulder, brachioradialis, rhomboid and trapezius muscles are also involved; this technique is considered one of the most effective for shaping the characteristic V-shaped silhouette of the male torso. The reverse grip, in turn, loads mainly the back and biceps.
