Comparison of the normalized (%MVC) EMG of the selected musculature between pull-up variations

	%MVC
	LD	BB	MT	PD
PU	79.82 ± 21.95	43.93 ± 13.94	60.52 ± 18.06	106.09 ± 69.64
SP	83.76 ± 18.14	45.80 ± 16.33	55.21 ± 15.13	102.48 ± 61.44
TP	85.34 ± 19.78	41.42 ± 17.40	51.00 ± 14.22†	100.94 ± 61.04

PU = Pull-up, SP = Suspension device pull-up, TP = Towel pull-up, LD = Latissimus Dorsi, BB = Biceps Brachii, MT = Mid-Trapezius, PD = Posterior Deltoid

^†Significantly lower than PU (p < 0.05)
