pullups have jacked my arms and upper body

[desmond]

Pull Ups have done nothing for my arms, and I can do 5 with 40% of my weight attached.

Everyone is different.

they improve my lats though

I like pullups best with the double D handle attached to a chain, so your using a close neutral grip...

Pull ups are proably one of the best upper back exercises ever. Arnold's favorite.

Is there any way to engage your accessory muscles more during these exercises? I'm sure if my bisceps actually did something in pull ups/rows i could add another 5-10 kg immediately.

Should I do some warm up biscep sets before doing pull ups/rows?

I'm thinking that something like reverse grip curls and zottman curls would do the trick, plus doing sets above 12 rep on chins will pump you up more, last time time i did these I went above 20 reps and my bis/forearms were jacked!
