Question: What does the pull-up exercise workout on your body?And what does the chin up work out?
I think the chin up works out more of the biceps while the pull ups works out the forearm and back but does the pull up work out the biceps too?And does the chin up work out more of the bicep then the pull up does?To get best answer you have to answer all questions.Best answer gets 10 points.

Answers:

Like all back exercises (the back and biceps work cohesively), the pull up does indeed hit the biceps. The difference is that the chin up (because of hand position) engages the biceps more while the pull ups do not. You are using back and biceps to pull on both exercises and the abs to stabilize yourself. Frankly I prefer chin-ups because I feel my back is worked to a similar extent but my biceps get a lot of work to. For most purposes though (military tests, gym class, etc.) they are interchangeable. But yeah, you have the breakdown dead on.
