If you look from the top of the cobra snake's head to the bottom of the body you will see that it forms the shape of the letter Y. The more pull-ups you perform, the bigger your trapezius muscles become. Your latissimus dorsi muscles also start to become very ripped which ultimately helps the upper body start to form the shape of the letter Y. The best way to think about it is to hang from the pull-up bar and look at yourself in a mirror. You will see that your body forms the "Y shape" as you are hanging from the bar.
This also means that your waistline will get smaller because you are recruiting abdominal and oblique muscles to help raise your body during the exercise. To get varying results or work on different body parts you can also change your grip on the bar. If you go widen your grip, you will be building for width and you will gain what is called wings. Wings is body building term that well developed latissimus dorsi muscles. If you decide to do your pull-ups underhanded then you will work more biceps, forearms and back. Most people agree that doing pull-ups overhand has a higher degree of difficulty than doing them underhand. You can start building your back muscles right away by first giving yourself a test and seeing how many pull-ups you are able to do. You are not allowed to jerk your body in order to get over the bar.
Many people mistake activity for achievement by kicking their feet and hollering on the pull-up bar to make it seem as though they are working hard. When performing this exercise you are to be under control and make sure that your chin surpasses the bar. The repetitions are not as important as the way you perform the exercise. The goal is to have perfection execution. If you can only do two reps then be sure to take your time and do them correctly. It is best to just allow your legs to hang straight down below you. You do not have to tuck you feet behind you. Perform this exercise for three sets of whatever number you can do for two to three times per week. It is up to you to raise the amount of reps that you do as you get stronger. If you cannot raise the reps then you should raise the amount of sets that you do. Either way you will continue to build strength.
