Pullups depending on what kind you do strentghen mostly the back.
These are the predominant muscles they develop. Lowerback, Lats (Armpit Muscles), Upperback, and Biceps.
They do a little for your chest but not much, wide pushups do more. BUT if you want a bigger chest, join a gym and start pressing. If you can't just get some dumbells and do dumbell presses or flys on the floor untill they become to easy with that weight. Then upgrade or consider joining a gym.
good idea..also, go to the gym and check out other equipment they have for building up..good luck
push ups and fly's.....they both work your chest very well..
pull ups are good for your biceps, forearms, and most of all for your lats (your upper back muscles). They do nothing for your chest. Do push ups for your chest. The more open your arms are the more you work your chest.
no they are not....
the muscles you use during pull ups are your biceps, and trapezeus muscle mainly.... chest???
to use your chest muscles, it is mostly "pushing motion"....
push ups, bench presses... should most probably do the trick.
Great post! I totally understand how you feel. I'm also trying to lose weight and I found this great product which is working for me (it's all 100% natural - a colon cleanse that was really gentle on my body. I feel so good and I lost 15 pounds). You can check the website at
