i've received many different answers to whether chinups(palms facing you) are more effective than barbell curls for BUILDING MASS. Some of my friends say barbell curls are better for mass, and chinups are better for toning muscles. Others say the opposite. What's the deal here? which is more effective for building mass?

Just started training, but from what I've read, the question when someone asks this is usually answered with this:
What is going to produce more muscle mass? 100 lb. Barbell bicep curls (isolation movement) - or weighted chin-ups (a compound movement) with 100 lbs. plus body weight.
I do both barbell curls and chin-ups. But I'm a beginner, so take my advice with a grain of salt.Last edited by VirgilsCrony; 02-16-2009 at 02:12 PM.
