Hello boys and girls

I was working on translating one of my strips to English last evening and the following doubt came out: what's the name of the exercise in English?

Thanks a lot

"Chin-ups."

Thank you very, very much. I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out yesterday

Or pull-ups.

Both chin-ups AND pull-ups! YOUR CHOICE!

It's an Anglophonic smörgåsbord, man!

Chin pulls. Pull chins is also acceptable.

What about "that exercise where the guy hangs on an horizontal bar and pulls himself up with the strenght of his arms"

Is that acceptable too?

Thanks a lot, guys!

Technically acceptable, yes. But it has no zazz. You need to think of the marketing and branding possibilities!

I'm under the impression the Advertising College should have tought me something like that at some point...

How about: "Exercise that separates the MEN from the boys." Well, it did in my grade school.

If you have to separate the men from the boys in grade school, there's something seriously wrong going on in that school...
