Chins Vs Pullups

[T-Man]

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?

different planes of motion causing different movement at the shoulder joint and affecting the scapula stabalizers in a different way. do a search. there are a ton of threads on this.

both great exercises for the lats and back.

As far im concerned these should be incoperated in every back routine,weighted ones especially.

i usually do pullups to target my lats, and chinups as a biceps supplement. i fidn i dont really use much of my back at all ina chin up. but yes, both are some of my favorite exercises.

I do both, starting with pullups. I dont do biceps on back day though, maybe some of you folks go narrower than I do, dunno.

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.
