∙ 12y agowhat 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.
