Marco_Simone SG Chin ups work the biceps even more+you work your back too. So which is the more bang for the buck? Anyway,share with you all my workout routine.Pretty old school stuff. Workout A(each exercise 4 sets) Squats bent over rows incline presses upright rows Workout B(each exercise 4 sets) rack pulls close grip bench presses chin ups military presses
Simple_Bear SG Yes I know chin ups works biceps more than you work your back but it all depends on hw U do tt exercise. 1st for chin ups, ppl often pull them up by using their biceps more than their lats, actually for chin ups at the height of the exercise, you shld be pushing Ur shoulder blades together towards your body and 'pushing' Urself down so as to involve the lats more. 2nd actually by incooperating biceps curls in your workout may juz prompt Ur biceps to grow faster.
Simon Dean SG i also add DB rows, stiff-legged deadlifts(after a long lay off, slight back injury) and many many other stuff....your rack pulls beat me, i can only do 90kg(stiff legged DL) for 5 reps
Marco_Simone SG Yes,for my chins,I use my biceps more and my lats less and I am conscious of this.In fact I want this to happen because chins is in Workout B and that is my arms workout.(Notice I use close grip bench presses also in Workout B-they are for my tris and the rack pulls are for my forearms.)
Simple_Bear SG Everyone haf their own style of training if tt works for U then continue with it, I am juz saying maybe by adding a few sets of biceps curls, it may be better for Ur biceps...
