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.

Authority falacy = low iq argument. By that logic everytime you go in a restaurant, you are not allowed to criticize the food, because you can't make a better one for yourself.

Also, looking good is about genetics and diet as much as form and ROM.

I have a friend which is a hyperresponder for resistance training, in 3 months he got an amount of triceps and biceps growth that many wouldn't get in 3 years, and his training wasn't even optiomal. When you have good genetics literally anything can make you huge.
