chin Ups or Pull Ups?

[coolkewell]

I know chin ups are when your palms are facing inward and your hands are closer togetor and pull ups are when palms face outwar and arms wide apart.
which do you believe is the better exercise> I can barely do 2 pull ups, with my own body weight, what sort of muscles does the pull up work.

Pull ups gives you the V shape on your back your wings if you will. and the long muscles of your biceps

Chin ups do your biceps.

i was intrested in finding out if either or both of those exercises work the traps, triceps, or forearms.
