Chin Up vs Pull Up - Which one is better? Muscle Building & Strength

Which is better, the chin up or the pull up? Well that depends!

At face value, many people think the chin up is a bicep exercise and the pull up is a back exercise, but thats not true!

There are a lot of similarities and some key differences between the movements.

It's also important to consider that we can change the moves and it will affect how these differences and similarities - such as grip width.

If you want a workout routine that is both science based and practical, we have two training programs:

1. Sustainable Strength - for those looking to get strong, fit and functional. This program uses a barbell and sessions usually last 50-75 minutes.
2. Foundational Strength - The lite version of Sustainable strength. This program doesn't use a barbell and sessions usually last 40-60 minutes.
