Shoulders-

ummmmmm–where are the legs?
Shoulders – Jerks
Lowerback – Squats/Deadlifts
Upperback – Bentover rows/Chins
Chest – Bench Press
Tricepts – Bench Press/Dips
LEGS – Squats
I’ve never been able to figure out the difference between a pullup and a chinup. I’ve seen people do both, but I guess the difference is too subtle for me. I’m thick sometimes.
Chins are done palms up, Pull-ups are done palms down.

I didn’t include legs because i believe everyone agrees that squats are the best leg excercise.

Not sure there is a difference unless it has to do with the grip–you can use a pronated (palm out) grip or supinated grip (palm in).

Chins= palms facing you. (hard)
Pulls= palms not facing you. (harder)
