  2. Core muscles: Weighted sit-ups and Russian twists engage the abdominal muscles, obliques, and lower back muscles for stability and core strength.
  3. Biceps and forearms: Pull-ups and chin-ups also target the biceps and forearms.
  4. Posterior shoulder muscles: DB reverse flyes work the rear deltoids and help improve shoulder stability and posture.
