An exercise that targets lats and pectorals at once... well I have it for you.
Simple enough, you hold onto the pull up bar and keep your arms straight to some degree, it's okay if you have a little elbow bend. This is all about pulling up without bending your elbows.
Don't pull, but push down. As you come out, it should feel like you're doing a front lever, but your feet need to be pointing down. Just push enough to go up, and keep the tension as you go down.
This is also a good prerequisite to have down prior to muscle ups so you can get yourself up for the maneuver to pull yourself above the bar. Work on it with bent elbows, and so forth. Good luck.
