Pullups are very good. They work primarily lats (as long as you do them right...don't use your thumb when you grip) and biceps.

your grip dictates which how much your arm muscles are used, if you use a thumbless grips, the biceps are used less and the lats more.

I don't suppose you have any proof to back that up, eh? I suppose the biceps are somehow attached to your thumb, so when you don't wrap it around the bar, something really scientific happens and your biceps involvement is removed or greatly lessened, eh?Originally Posted by scotyg

Not to be a killjoy, but that isn't always a good indicator. I feel absolutely nothing in my shoulders when I bench, but I know they're being worked. I don't feel anything in my hammies when I squat low (as low as I can), but I know they're being worked.Originally Posted by altertune777
