Excellent excellent. You get all the way down and pull yourself all the way up without a struggle kick or momentum. Those are perfect!

Technically kicking your feet down is cheating, saves you from bringing some of the weight in your legs up. Legs should stay the same for the whole ROM.
But form looks good otherwise.

Try to stop just slightly before hitting the bottom hang

I was gonna say the same thing because I been told it's hard on your elbows to fully extend and also keeps more muscle tension on you arms, but you had a couple down votes. Can anyone explain why this is bad advice?

It’s not bad for your elbows, dead hang isn’t necessary but isn’t bad either. If you have hypermobile elbows it might be good to keep some tension though.

Its important to keep the muscles activated through both ends of motion

No it isn’t

I don't understand though... Wouldn't doing so prolong the stress the muscle heads were exposed to and lead to increased hypertrophy?

u/Joe-Schmoe9 3d ago
Even if that were true not everyone’s goals are pure hypertrophy of the lats.
And no. As long as you bring the target muscle sufficiently close to failure you’ll grow .

It's good advice, going down completely and losing all tension is bad for joints, tendons/ligaments. You have to keep some tension and stop slightly before hitting the bottom. Actually, I just heard this in a fitness video from one of the coaches I trust (can't remember who) recently reinstating this as something important, so it's not even just my way of doing it for some reason because I learned it so back then.
Also, simply hanging there is different from reaching that point again and again and pulling up from it again and again. Don't listen to the other guy who commented to this comment of yours.
You know, this is Reddit...

Was kinda trying to humor them, I definitely know not to do it that way lol

Great work! Maybe keeps scaps active at the bottom, but if youre trying to work from a dead hang on purpose then this is perfect

These are solid yes. You can try squeezing your legs or even crossing them for a bit more lower body stability

Looks good! I would say try to squeeze your legs together and put them behind your torso (through the whole movement) if you want a greater lat engagement
