How far down do you guys go on chinups? I find that the last 20 degrees or so of arm bend (the part where you go from having tension on the biceps to a dead hang) is absolutely killer. If I stop right at that position I am much stronger.

Fully extended to fully contracted. Anything less isnt a full pullup.

Hmmmm....Originally Posted by zarg02
interesting.
You could only get full potential stretch with an extremely narrow grip.
You also couldn't get a full contraction unless you had a medium grip, and pulled up to your stomach.
How do you resolve this?CSCS, ACSM cPT.

Full ROM is overrated. Results are all that matter.

it's funny. I spent so much time doing full ROM pullups and chins because I thought that was the only way
It wasn't until I learned exactly where in the ROM I get the best results that I started to build some width.

I get plenty of width from full ROM but my goal is to be better at the exercise (I want to do 20 full ROM pullups and being to do reps with 100+lbs) so I have to do full ROM anyway.Originally Posted by kethnaab

Why? Are you entering a pullup contest? Are you going to get a t-shirt that says "20 FULL ROM PULLUP CLUB" on the back?Originally Posted by GoJu

I usually do full ROM. And then when really isolating the muscle on certain days, right when I am about to reach failure I lock my elbows at 90 degrees contraction (half ROM) and then bounce up and down not going all the way up and not going all the way down until I reach failure.
What I've seen from people that never do full ROM is that they tend to cheat ALOT more than someone who does go full ROM.Olympic Weightlifting: Cuban Method

I don't go to lock out/ full extension when I do wide grip chins. I stop right before.
I've gotten good results over the last few months doing this, personally.

Of course anything less than a full pullup isn't a full pullup. Self evident. That doesn't mean the full pullup is BETTER though.Originally Posted by zarg02
I use full ROM for strength purposes. I also have no problem initiating the pull with my back.
In time, I'll find ROM that works best for me bodybuilding wise as well.Interested in investing in militarizing poultry? Based in our Southernmost continent, no local taxes, no laws to worry about, guaranteed return! PM for further details
