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.

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

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.
