Pull Ups 

Pull ups are one of the hardiest body weight exercises that a person can do.  The US Marine Corp uses them as part of there Physical Fitness Test.  They use the pull up instead of the push up because of how much harder they are to do.  The Marine Corp minimum standard for pull ups is 3.  Many people can’t do even one.  Many of todays fitness organizations are incorporating pull ups and deferent types of pull ups into there programs.  So you might be seeing people do side to side pull ups, sliding pull ups, narrow grip pull ups, behind the head pull ups and many others.  Remember pull ups are the best exercise for your back.  You don’t need to have free weights and cables to get a great back work out in.
