What does PULLUP mean in Scrabble?
noun
An exercise in which a person hangs from a bar by the hands and lifts the body until the chin is above it.
The pullup builds the back, shoulders and arms, and it is a standard test of upper body strength in schools and the military. Grip changes the effect, since an overhand hold works the back more than an underhand one. In aviation the same word names a sharp climb that an aircraft makes from level flight.
