Wide Pull Up

The grip width for a wide grip pull-up is typically wider than shoulder-width apart, which means your hands will be positioned farther apart than they would be for a standard pull-up. This wider grip targets the latissimus dorsi muscles more effectively, making it an excellent exercise for building upper body strength, particularly in the back muscles.
