Pull ups are evil

Depending on the hand grip (palms in/out) it will affect how your arm muscles are used (bis, tris). But to my understanding, the back muscles that are used are about the same (wide grip=more lats, Narrow grip more mid-back traps &rhoms).

Actually, no, they use your biceps and never your triceps either way.

just like an upper body squat, they suck ass but work

Shit. I love doing pull-ups, nice stretch too. Not near as exhausting as a squat or deadlift IMO, even to complete failure.

I was able to do 7 complete one-armed chin-ups last year during the Winter. Did it right in my weightroom at school. Now I can get 3-4.

Yeah, nothing is quiet like DLs or Squats in terms of exhausting. Squats are the most exausting. Every time I throw the bar backon the wrack i need to lean against the cage for a few seconds and I'm sweating like I ran a marathon.
