Some coworkers and I are organizing a pull-up contest for April. A pull-up is where you hold onto a bar, knuckles facing in, and pull your whole body weight upwards until your chin is level with the bar. We haven't figured out the format of the competition, or the prizes yet, but so far there is a lot of enthusiasm. There are tons of coworkers wanting to get involved, including at least one other female coworker other than myself. Also, my female weight-lifting instructor at my gym, who does 100 pull-ups/day could probably best all of the guys participating. She is also going to participate. Another words, this is going to be a macho throwdown designed for girls to beat the guys.
As for me, my personal goal is to do at minimum one pull up, with my stretch goal to do three pull-ups. I can not do one as yet.
Some of the muscles utilized for a pull-up:
Latissimus Dorsi
Brachialis
Brachioradialis
Biceps Brachii
Teres Major
Deltoid muscle
Infraspinatus
Teres Minor
Rhomboids
Levator Scapulae
Trapezius Lower
Trapezius Middle
Pectoralis Minor
