CHIN UPS VS PULL UPS
Chin Ups vs Pull Ups
- Do you know how to correctly perform a pull up and a chin up, do you understand the difference between them both and which muscle groups they each work?
This article explores these questions and more as we compare chin ups vs pull ups:
What’s The Difference Between a Chin up and a Pull up?
Take a look around the fitness forums and you’ll find some pretty heated disputes between die hard pull up guys arguing whether chin ups and pull ups are the same or different.
50 years ago there was no distinction, the terms were interchangeable and meant lifting yourself up so your chin was above the bar. As time has gone on the usage of the terms chin up and pull up have diverged to mean two different types of exercises.
The thing that differentiates a pull up from a chin up is the hand grip used, they are both excellent compound exercises, meaning they work multiple muscles, specifically the muscles in your back, shoulders and arms, but because of this change in grip the focus of primary effort changes from one muscles area to another.
What is a chin up?
A chin up pulls your entire weight up so your chin is above the bar and uses a grip with palms facing you, known as asupinated grip like this.
How to Perform a Chin Up
- Position both hands on the bar with palms facing you shoulder width or slightly narrower
- Cross one leg behind the other and hang from the bar
- Contract your shoulder blades and elbows, pulling your chest towards the bar.
- Continue until your chin is above the bar
- Slowly lower yourself back down again, take care not to fully extend your elbow
- Repeat.
What is a pull up?
The standard explanation of a pull up is one that uses a Pronated grip, with your palms facing away from you. Other types of grips can be used and still count as a pull up but this is the standard one.
How to Perform a Pull Up
- Position both hands on the bar with palms away from you at should width
- Cross one leg behind the other and hang from the bar
- Contract your shoulder blades and elbows, pulling your chest towards the bar
- Continue until your chin is above the bar
- Slowly lower yourself back down again, take care not to fully extend your elbow
- Repeat.
Which Muscles Do Chin ups Work?
All of the following muscles are used in a chin up, the same ones used in pull ups; the difference is where the primary work is done.
Primary Chin Up MusclesSecondary Chin Up Muscles
- Biceps Brachii (Biceps)
- Latissimus Dorsi (Lats)
- Teres Major (Outer Back)
Auxiliary Chin Up Muscles
- Rhomboid Major (Upper Back)
- Trapezius (Upper Back)
In addition to these main muscles you will also work your core muscles, which engage for stabilization.
- Pectoralis Major (Chest / Pecs)
- Pollicis Longus (Forearms)
- Digitorum Profundus / Superficialis
- Carpi Radialis Ulnaris (Forearms)
Which Muscles Do Pull ups Work?
The great thing with pull ups is you can vary you grip to vary the muscles worked, a wider grip will engage your lats even more, but don’t go too wide or you won’t get the full range of movement.
These are the main muscles worked performing a pull up with your grip shoulder width.
Primary Pull Up MusclesSecondary Pull Up Muscles
- Teres Major (Outer Back)

Should You Perform Chin ups or Pull ups?
Neither one is better than the other – they’re just different
You’ll probably find it easier to start with chin ups, due to the grip position the muscles around your elbow are working the most efficiently, so most people find this easier.
People typically focus on chin ups to build the biceps and pull ups to strengthen the back. If you have experienced shoulder problems you may find it better to do chin ups instead.
Like any good workout program you should be using a combination of techniques, so mix it up.
Perform some reps with chin ups and others with pull ups, you could either mix your reps such as one rep of chin ups, one rep of pull ups, or spend one or two weeks concentrating on chin ups then swapping to a couple of weeks on pull ups, whatever works for you.
Didn't know that pull ups worked any part of the tricep, let alone both parts
You didnt bring your chin all the way up over that bar though bruh.No it's not,but keep letting people believe that if they want
