Starting our pullups from the top can increase our strength and mobility!

Exploring the upper and lower end of the pullup range of motion can have functional and therapeutic benefits.

This is something I've been exploring recently myself. While I've been doing pullups for years (like many of you), I discovered that some parts of my ROM are not as strong as I like.

In addition, there's some debate on how the pullup should look as we're coming up.

Shoulders back and "proud chest" at the top engages our back more. It's relatively difficult to completely touch chest-to-bar for long in this position, so great work if you can!

However, while some people frown on neutral shoulders at the top, I'm hesitant to dismiss it because it gives my arms some extra work that I enjoy.

Additionally, "Full ROM" for pullups is somewhat debatable. Some people consider a muscle up the full range of motion.

For me, right before the tension starts to move away from our biceps and onto our triceps at the top is what I consider the "top" of a pullup.

Just some thoughts!
