Set of pull-ups?
Answer:
ARMS
Hint:
Think of what you might flex after doing several of these exercises at the gym.
Explanation:
Set of pull-ups?" plays on two meanings of "pull-ups." One is the exercise where you pull yourself up on a bar, which works your arms. The other is the diaper-like training pants called "pull-ups," which come in sets. The answer "ARMS" cleverly refers to the body part you use for the exercise, not the product.
