This exercise (or maneuver) is used with the verb mI', as in choQpel vImI' "I do a pull-up/pull-ups, I perform a pull-up/pull-ups, I execute a pull-up/pull-ups." This word is used both for the common exercise involving gripping a bar as well as for pulling oneself up to the top of a wall. The term is used whether the palms of the hands are facing towards or away from the exerciser. If a distinction must be made, however, the following terminology is used: chap choQpel "pull-up" (overhand grip, palms face away) toch choQpel "chin-up" (underhand grip, palms face exerciser) When one uses the choQpel technique to exercise, there may be any number of repetitions of the same movements. A variant form of the exercise is known as the baQpel. In this exercise, the first up-down movement is with one arm only, the second is with the other arm only, the third is with the first arm only, and so on. As with the more basic choQpel, there are chap and toch versions.
