Chins Vs Pullups
I know that chin ups work more of the biceps, but is there any other difference between the two excercises in terms of working different muscles?

I do chest and back on the same day, I find that awesome.
As far as pullups, I alternate. I do a set of pullups, then chinups, then pullups, then chinups. Then I move on to other back exercises.
sometimes, I do a set of pullups between bench sets.
