Q:

So we have an assumed experience level now?

This recent pull up grip question is getting a lot of comments suggesting it's somehow inappropriate to ask what muscles each exercise targets because he won't know what those muscles are. Is there some unstated rule that all questions and answers have to be done from the point of view of an absolute fitness noob?

A:

I don't have a problem with that question, as it's now written, rev3 (I didn't go examine changes from earlier revisions). Seems perfectly valid to ask what exercise X can do for me, as well as asking what exercise I can do to target Y. 
For a motivating example, think about somebody whose home gym contains only a pullup bar and, say, a medicine ball. Might be nice to know what one could accomplish with just that equipment at hand.
