Pulling movements and exercises

Pulling movements can be divided into 2 categories, vertical pulls and horizontal pulls.

Horizontal pulling consists of all the rowing based exercises that are pulled towards the chest. These exercises will strengthen the mid to upper back and also the bicep muscles.
