Pull-Up Bar

The pull-up bar is a classic tool for developing upper-body strength essential for grappling. Pull-ups target the lats, biceps, and grip—muscles heavily engaged during clinching, guard retention, and submissions.

Many athletes use variations like wide-grip, archer, or towel pull-ups to simulate gi grips and improve endurance. A portable pull-up bar is a staple for home conditioning routines in BJJ.
