It also indirectly hits the biceps; most back exercises hit the biceps quite a bit and many people's biceps exhaust before their backs do. I've never really heard of it hitting the triceps very hard before though.

pullups are the shizz.

Look to the right on this page to see the muscles that get hit directly or indirectly.

Do triceps with chest.

^^was confused on the combination of which it was tris or bis w/ back or chest.


Thanks!

Just remember, biceps do elbow flexion and triceps extension. So, in the case of a movement like upright rows (Often deemed a shoulder movement, although it's really a pulling movement that hits a lot of back muscles) your biceps are working. Don't just associate chest & shoulders with triceps, although that is the case the vast majority of time.
