Why your pull-ups don't count?

Chin over the bar is where most people think a pull-up ends. It's only half of what counts. A full pull-up is a full range of motion at the elbow. Arms completely straight at the bottom. An actual hang, not a hover with your elbows still bent. Then bending all the way until your chin or chest clears the bar at the top. Click the bio link to check out our Calisthenics Playbook.
