push ups and pull ups are two of the most popular bodyweight exercises for building upper body strength 💪 push ups target your chest shoulders and triceps while pull ups help develop your back and biceps by changing variations and gradually increasing reps you can keep challenging your muscles without needing heavy gym equipment 🔥 do you think these two exercises are enough for upper body growth or should we include more movements in our routine?

proper form and progressive overload matter more than just counting reps 💯
