Muscles worked
The prime mover is the biceps brachii, which bends the elbow and rotates the forearm palm-up.
Other muscle groups are involved too: the calves control the ankle and hold the heel position; the triceps straighten the elbow to finish the movement; the hamstrings assist hip extension and slow the knee down.
The glutes and quadriceps take a share of the work as well.
