Pulling strength, especially vertical, is determined by both the biceps and the latissimus dorsi, which pulls your elbows back toward your torso. However, grip strength plays a larger role than most realize.
The brachioradialis overlaps the biceps at the elbow. Since a muscle can only effectively flex one joint at a time, the brachioradialis plays an important role in pullups by flexing and extending your wrist while your biceps does its job on your elbow. Better squeezing grip = more pullups. Today, you’ll test and strengthen that grip.
Note: there’s no such thing as a ‘bicep.’ “Biceps”–meaning, ‘of two heads,’–is the singular. Though “bicep” is commonly used in mass media, it’s technically incorrect.
