The horizontal pull-up bar is a straight bar most often found in gyms and gyms, and is often attached to other training equipment. The bar is used in traditional powerlifting by placing both hands on the bar approximately shoulder-width apart with the palms facing out. The athlete then rises off the ground using the back muscles, aided by the biceps, chest, and shoulders. Although it is a complete upper body workout, the back is the main target area. The workout is complete, the chin is raised over the bar.

Pull-up bars are commonly found attached to Smith machines, full-body workout benches, and weight racks with cables or barbells. The chin up bar is often suspended above the floor, usually low enough for an adult to reach with arms outstretched, but high enough to complete the exercise without feet or bent legs touching the floor. .

A portable pull-up bar is a more common feature in a personal or home gym, and is often sold in exercise stores. These kits use harnesses or clamps to attach to a door frame over moldings, or can be adjusted to fit inside the door frame, with each side of the bar creating pressure on the frame to hold it in place. Portable pull up bars are used in the same way as standard ones.

Other workouts that can be executed on the chin-up bar are pull-ups, which have a person lift their chin over the bar with their palms facing their body, putting more stress on the biceps as well as the back. The exerciser can also look out of the chin up bar and pull up back in a much more advanced exercise. With a wide grip, this places extra emphasis on the shoulder muscles. Sit-ups can also be done from a pull-up bar by hanging upside down from the bar at the knees and pulling the body up towards the legs using the abdominal muscles.
