Re: Physics puzzle: chin-ups.
[ QUOTE ]
There isn't much correlation between vicepts and chin-ups. There's obviously some..but your example is flawed. If your biceps were severely injured you wouldn't be able to do many things, not just chin-ups.
Its the same thing with push-ups...many people think pushups are some kind of indication of bicep strength.

Many people seriously believe that?
Morons. Obviously, push-ups are more reliant on extensor muscles in the upper arm (triceps) and pectoral muscles. Biceps are necessary for a smooth downward motion toward the ground, but their use is clearly minimal in that calisthenic (sic).
What gets sore when you do push-ups? Exactly...
