Pull up is a compound exercise, but mostly it will incorporate your Bicep's mainly, followed by your rotator cuffs and also your fore-arm, what kind of pull up are you talking about here ? there are a few of pull-ups
1) Wide Grip
2) Close Grip
3) Open palm
4) Weighted
for general strength increase to help on your pull-up do a inversion of workout for example, a Lat PULL DOWN, your bicep plays a big factor if you are doing a close grip pull up, this is where your Bicep Barbell curl comes in handy. do not use dumbbell but BARBELL, reason being that you are going to be using two arms to pull yourself up. Do lots of conditioning exercise for your Rotator cuffs like shoulder press, again with a barbell. You will see benefit gains very soon if you are consistent and persistant in your workout. a pull-up would greatly increase your lat size and bicep!
IPT standards are 15minimum pull-up/chin up for a guy ! full length arm drop and no cheating (no half way bending of the elbow, ensure elbows are dropped till fully straight)

Go to a sporting goods store and they sell push up bars and pull up bars.

attempt dips, you like a chair only positioned your palms on the chair and positioned your legs out immediately infront of you, then slowly decrease your physique till your palms are at real angles approx, then push lower back up it quite works your triceps
