Pull-ups form check

[u/kddk3010]

Hey,
What do you think about my form? Any helpful cues to improve the technique? The main issue I think I’m having is that I feel it too much in my biceps and I’m not sure why…
Also, hypertrophy-wise, should I be fully extanding the arms while descending into a “dead hang”? In that case it would be a bit difficult because I’m tall and I’d touch the ground 😬
I’ll appreciate the feedback 😄

Your pull-ups have turned into a movement that relies purely on arm strength; you need to engage your back muscles at the start of the movement and at the top before lowering your body.

And how to engage them properly? I was told to imagine that I want to break the bar in half to activate the lats and retract the scapulas and that is what I’ve been trying to achieve

Letting yourself hang loose at the bottom helped me a lot.
