What are the primary muscles when doing pull ups?

Answer 1

The main target from this pull up exercise are the biceps but also it can help with your stomach/abs as well. if you tighten your stomach while pulling up you can get toned abs faster than normal.

Answer 2

a pull up, or chin up (same routine to me)

uses your upper back, and biceps

if you think chin ups or pull ups are too mch for your exercise you may switch top wat i personnally call a "2-hand pump" i take my curl bar, add bout 10-20 more pounds so around 80 total and just pump it in front and behind ur head
