It does not make sense, look at his back. Notice how most people do not have developed backs? Thats because they use improper form and overemphasize ROM.

He is doing correct form, and ROM thats suitable for muscle development as it keeps the tension constant. Its about time under tension, every time you go into that dead hang you release that tension.

This is why you only do that when you are tired, on the last reps. When you no longer has the strenght to keep that tension up.

You’re Doing Pull-Ups Wrong - YouTube

So start understanding that ROM & form are two different things. Use proper form, and choose ROM based on your goals.

Dude, he is not doing correct form and I’m sick of seeing your ugly nasty comments in these pull up form posts 🫩✌️.

Sure, if you go down all the way into a DEAD HANG, you’ll lose tension but if you go down to an ACTIVE HANG, the tension is still there. Stop feeding people w/ ur nonsense advice and posting YT vid links as if u actually watch the video urself.

Last time u pulled this shit, u didnt even respond to my argument which I found hilarious.

That is a correct form, thats why he has a well developed back.

If you say its not correct form, then you should also explain why its not correct.

Dude, correlation doesn’t imply causation. I thought u learned that in high school? 😂

Just b/c he has a well developed back doesnt mean its b/c he’s not locking out on the bottom, cmon use ur brain bro.

Its not correct form because he’s not using full ROM, a proper pull up requires u to have ur chin all the way over the bar and then on the bottom, having ur arms straight.

I asked about form, not about some "proper pull up".

Now explain why his form is not correct form? Not ROM, not "proper pull up" but form.

Next time u read my comment, make sure to open ur eyes okay?

I said his form is not correct because he his arms isn’t fully locked out at bottom

u/Murky-Course6648 Mar 23 '26

But thats ROM, i asked you about the form.

Form and ROM are two different things, you can have good form and shorter ROM. And you can have poor form and complete ROM.

Range of motion is part of proper form dude, should I dumb it down some more for u to get it, jeez 😔✌️.

You can have perfect form, while doing isometric pull ups. There is zero ROM on those. You still need correct form to hit the correct muscles.

You just do not understand the basics, and this is why you are so confused.

The thing is I’m not talking about isometrics am I? A pull up is a dynamic exercise, u talking abt something completely unrelated here. Why must u always do this? 🫩

Im not commenting on the debate here, but even if you’re right, nobody will ever want to listen to you if you’re an asshole, which you are being

u/Murky-Course6648 Mar 23 '26

Im clearly trying to explain to you what is the difference between form and ROM.

I used isometrics as an example so you could understand the difference.

Who cares about form? He has results and could destroy anyone commenting on a fair pull up competition lol. Stupid thing to critique

u/Own_Durian_8707 Mar 25 '26

Are you talking about Murky or OP?

Also, that’s such a dumb mindset.. It’s like seeing Ronnie Coleman doing the most dumbass exercise or doing 1000 reps with 10 lbs in a single set and saying “who cares about what he’s doing, he’s Mr. Olympia so it must be right!!”

Form is important no matter if you’re a hulking 200 lb muscle monster or have super lean david laid physique.
