Answers: In terms of muscle building, which is better?
to build muscle, pull ups/chin ups b/c they are more difficult. although both build more endurance than strength, push ups are more toward endurance than pull ups. it's kinda of like lifting more weight with pull ups.
they build entirely different muscles.
pushups scuplt your chest and triceps
while pullups build shoulders, upper back muscles, and triceps.
its like comparing orange juice to milk.
Push ups. They work biceps, triceps, and abdomen
Also chin ups build more of your biceps. But all three are good functional exercises to have in your program. Be sure to include exercises that work your legs and core. Or do lifts that actually work movements instead of muscles.
All of it. Don't just do one exercise, do multiple to work on various upper body parts.
