Pullups simplified⬇️
Step 1: Hang low. Stretch the lats
Step 2: pull yourself up until your chest touches the bar. Contract the lats and shoulder blades. Squeeze hard.
Step 3: repeat
Stop settling for barely jutting your chin over the bar. Aim to at least hit your Adams apple on the bar – and try not to die afterwards (you should be alright. We've all been karate chopped in the neck a time or 2, haven't we? It's basically the same as that).
Over time, work up to getting that upper or even mid chest to the bar.
But the neck is the bare minimum standard.
And for the love of whatever it is that you hold near and dear to your heart,
go ALL the way down at the bottom of each rep. There's no reason your elbows should maintain a significant bend at the bottom position.
