I have no doubt it works the arms, just don't understand why people sway towards a close underhand grip to target the biceps rather than a wide overhand grip. Is it because the exercise is a lot more difficult to perform?
The bicep is obviously a lot tenser with the underhand grip, this comes as no surprise and hence why most people do curls with an underhand grip.
But coming back to my initial dilemma, why do a complex movement to work a small muscle? You don't see most people benching purely to develop their triceps or squatting to develop their calves.
Have you tried doing reverse flyes using the rings 0ni?I really prefer the rings for pull-ups, dips and push-ups
No clue why it just seems to feel good. Pull-ups I get an amazing contraction. I can force the elbows out and drag outwards and it's brilliant. Hard to explain
For me, it's because of limited time. Main target is the Bicep, but since I don't have the chance to do that many different exercises, any secondary activation is going to help.
That brings me back to the basis of my question. Are chin ups with straps going to be more or less effective at targeting my biceps than a bar? (And I guess, should I not bother with either and just do curls?)

I've never understood why people do a movement that primarily works your back muscles to try and target the arms.
If you want bigger biceps, do curls. If you want to work your back, then do pullups, rows etc.
Most definately.

The wide overhand grip pull-up is a potential shoulder wrecker, and most believe it is a better exercise for the lats, which is utter bullshit.

Compared to the chin-up;
The ROM is minimal
Weakens the shoulder capsule
Minimal involvement of the bicep
Minimal involvement of the lat's
Potential elbow injury
Great for rhomboids, and supruspinatus, that is all and for ego
Oh well.
What's better, to trains muscles or to train movements?
