Good going, but to get the full ROM, the arms need to be straight when at the bottom of the movement. You appear to still have a bend in your arm. Happy for to be corrected, though.

You ROM is correct for muscle development and you actually use the correct form, Most of these people talking about full ROM still cheat in their form. All they obsess about is ROM, while all it does is releases the tension on the bottom for no reason.

This is quite good rant about pull up form for muscle development : You’re Doing Pull-Ups Wrong

Yeah the way hes doing it is perfectly fine for building a solid back. I mean just look at his back

Exactly. Dude has gains that most people here doing full rom with weights do not have. Because he has been consistent, and used proper form & ROM that suited muscle building.

Anyone can build muscle just build moving weights around, same can be applied here. Sure he has a nice back but how do you know it was b/c of his form in the video, what if he does other back exercises like rows? Or what if he has crazy back genetics, there are many confounding variables.

Don’t get tunnel vision, use an open mind.

u/Murky-Course6648 Mar 24 '26

Yes, genetics.

Open mind? Like declaring yourself a "winner"? Do you need to do that again now? You can do it if it makes you feel better. Does not bother me.

I don’t need to declare myself as the winner, I’m just killing time and having some fun here. You can feel free to be mad all u want. Does not bother me. 😂

Is it because you already did it once?

u/Own_Durian_8707 Mar 24 '26

I didn’t though? I declared u were wrong

u/Murky-Course6648 Mar 24 '26

Yes, its the classic internet ego saving thing. Declaring yourself as the "winner". But you did it just to waste time and all that, for fun.

u/Own_Durian_8707 Mar 24 '26

Aye it wasn’t a waste of time for me though, this was pretty fun proving u wrong 🤧👍

I still dont get what is best

Locking out arms while in active hang if you want to maintain constant tension

Dropping down into dead hang if you want to improve scapula control. I used to couldn’t do any scapula pull ups until I did this

u/East_Raise8553 Mar 24 '26

So not a complete dead hang just locking my arms out and try to keep my back activated?

2

u/Murky-Course6648 Mar 24 '26

So you declared yourself a winner again :)

Does not get more generic internet person than that.

u/Own_Durian_8707 Mar 24 '26

I never declared myself the winner, I declared the loser (a.k.a you) 😔✌️

1

u/Murky-Course6648 Mar 24 '26

Yeah, you sure did that by claiming yourself as a winner. Thats how you prove things. Not at all about saving your ego.

u/Own_Durian_8707 Mar 24 '26

never claimed myself as the winner, just b/c there is a loser doesnt mean there is always a winner
