wow. /fit/'s physiology is on a roll today
chins (pullup is type of chin) AND pushups are both INTERNAL rotator of the humeral head (upper arm) recruitment is different, but none the less similar. they are NOT opposites.
now for the learningnating portion.
think of the body in terms of vertical/horizontal planes. horizontal push (pushups) is opposite of a horizontal pull (bent over/seated row). chins are vertical pulls. these are as 'close' to opposite (hence, balance) as we're going to need.
