depends on grip

but palms facing awy it hits your back mainly... recruits some bicep

palms facing you hits mroe bicep but still gets u back

you can vary your grip as well

Doing good old chin ups has made the biggest difference for me, I have been doing all the other movements for so long now. But since I starting doing these I have been in extreme pain, good pain though.

works the back alot. Wide grip is a must in a good back workout IMO. I do back and bis together so works well.

yup back. esp the lats. they are good to rotate in a routine as i like them for mass, dnt do much for strength though IMO>.. Rows are probably superior for strength and probably mass as wel
