  I am not an expert in techniques for standing broad jump but the muscles involved are mostly the quadriceps, glutes and calves.

  You can try the following basic exercises:

  1. Full Squats

  2. Machine Leg Press

  3. Standing Calf Raises

  Do read up on the correct techniques on executing these exercises.

  Cheers

  Pull up is a bodyweight compound movement that requires muscles such as lats, biceps, forearms.

  You can do biceps curl with barbell or dumbbells to train your biceps.

  The lats is the major muscle used in pull - ups.
