If the lats, the shoulders and the "core" are taken care of by swings and GUs, this by itself should lead to at least some improvements in pullups. Now swings and GUs seem to me to be essentially straight-arm isometrics (except for the shoulders) whereas pullups/chinups have an important component of arm flexion and biceps strength. So to substantially improve pullup numbers, is a separate regimen required? What about MPs?
