Chin-Ups VS Pull-Ups

Chin-Ups VS Pull-Ups

First, with Chin-Ups, you maintain an underhand-grip. Because one of the main functions of your biceps is wrist supination, the Chin-Up will challenge your biceps well. Also, your elbows are typically more tucked in during Chin-Ups, so the Chin-Up also focuses more on training the lower lats region of your back.

With a Pull-Up, you maintain an overhand-grip. The elbows are typically more flared during Pull-Ups and this places more emphasis on your upper back muscles. With the overhand-grip, your biceps still get trained, but to a lesser extent than with Chin-Ups.

So both Pull-Ups & Chin-Ups have their benefits!
