Try doing 50-100 in a single workout, and then tell me they don't work your lats and biceps hard. CrossFit is known for doing massive numbers of them, with very little weighted pull-up work, but they can still pull some good numbers. Check out the results from a 7x1 1RM test back in July:

A fair number of newbies pulling light, but a lot of good ones too, for example:
38M/180 (gained a few pounds - wish I could say it was all muscle)
CFWU (3)
WOD - Weighted P/Us: 1- +50lbs 2- +60lbs 3- +70lbs 4- +75lbs (tie PR) 5- +80lbs (new PR) 6- +82.5lbs (PR again) 7- +85lbs (fail - could only get eyes above bar) bw 170
30 + 18 lb weight vest 40 + 18 lb weight vest 50 + 18 lb weight vest 60 + 18 lb weight vest 70 + 18 lb weight vest 75 + 18 lb weight vest (fail) 75 + 18 lb weight vest (fail) 42yom / 148
50 75 85 95 105 115 125(PR)
Tried 135 but only got it to about nose level and couldn't go any further. Maybe next time. 28/f/109
15-25-30-35-40-45-50 (nose to bar could not get chin over, 50 would have been a PR! dammit!) Also, Gym Jones does kipping pull-ups, and people seem to adore that place.
