No. Chest and tris.
Chinups / Pull ups will work lats and biceps.

I hope you're reading the answers to your three copies of this question.

Mine from your other question:

Your biceps don't do anything during pushups.

Try standing in front of a wall, and push against it with one hand. Now, with your other hand, feel around your arm.

Unless you're doing something weird, your bicep will be soft and your tricep will be hard. That's a good indicator of what's actually doing work.

Of course, more muscles are involved in a push up, but it's hard to feel around the front and back of your chest when both your hands are holding you up! But the arms won't change much.

The equivalent exercise for biceps would be chinups.

Just don't be tempted to do "one arm chinups" by holding the bar with one hand and holding that wrist with the other - you'll hurt your wrist. I don't know why people think that's a cool thing to do, but don't do it!

When they gain strength people often do a weighted chinup, using a weight belt or vest to increase the resistance.
