Differences in the Way Your Muscles Get Worked Out<\/strong><\/h2>\nWe’ve already stated that these exercises will work the back\/lats and biceps. There is a slight change in which of those muscles get worked the most by which exercise. We’ll talk a little about those differences below.<\/p>\n
Chin-ups have a stronger pull on your biceps, so your biceps will <\/span>be worked<\/span><\/span> a little harder with this exercise. Pull-ups tend to work your lats a little harder meaning that your biceps will be a little weaker if chin-ups are all you do. At one time, it <\/span>was thought<\/span><\/span> that these differences were significant. <\/span>However<\/span><\/span>, other findings show the difference is minimal at best.<\/span><\/p>\nStrength Differences<\/strong><\/h2>\nAs a rule, most people will usually be stronger at chin-ups than pull-ups, because of the pull on the biceps. For example, if you are usually able to do 15 chin-ups, you might be able to do only 12 pull-ups. This is nothing to <\/span>be ashamed<\/span><\/span> of or upset about, it’s <\/span>just<\/span><\/span> the way it is. It’s rare, but there are people out there who are stronger at pull-ups than chin-ups.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\nComfort and Safety Differences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
