draw-up

Prepare official documents

Draw-up is a noun for the act of bringing something to a stop or pulling alongside: the draw-up of vehicles at the curb.

In exercise contexts, a draw-up is a pulling motion where you raise your body toward a bar or bring your knees toward your chest.

The hyphenated form is less common than the verb phrase draw up, which means to prepare a document, pull alongside, or come to a halt.
