your arm muscles, your legs when you push off the ground to put your chin over the bar, and I think your abs if you tighten them up when you exersise. just don't forget to breath steadily. love jujub (nickname) ; ) LOL.

Answer 4

what muscles are worked when doing chin ups:

BICEPS

Pull-ups place a tremendous amount of strain on the biceps muscles of the arms.

Latissimus DorsiThe latissimus dorsi, which is the large muscle on the lateral sides of the back, is responsible for supplying much of the force needed to execute a pull-up.

Forearm MusclesThe muscles of the forearms are worked in a secondary, or supporting, manner when a pull-up exercise is performed.

DeltoidsThe muscles of the front shoulders, or deltoids, provide significant lifting stability and are worked considerably during the execution of a pull-up exercise.

Abdominals (Core Muscles)The core muscles of the body, mainly the abdominal muscles, receive significant muscle stimulation during execution of a pull-up.

Answer 5

Chin ups basically work your entire upper body. Your shoulders, arms, chest and upper back all get worked while doing them.
