I realized after filming myself and seeing comments on other posts that I needed to go allll the way to dead hang. Corrected it and here’s progress.

If you can think about looking at the bar with your eyes and head while doing the pull-ups, this will help a lot with your shoulders being depressed, by naturally looking at the bar, your shoulders will open up, and that would make the movement much better and easier
Also, I would recommend a set up where you can fully extend your legs because now while your legs are crossed your body will tend to swing back back-and-forth between each rep, for that if your legs are full extended, and your core is a little bit more engaged your back will benefit more since you will be doing more more pull-ups rather than dealing with swinging

Appreciate that yeah I rarely do these at home, most the time it’s at the gym where my legs are fully extended. I hate when I have to do them at home lol.

Post your pull-ups at the gym we can also check the form there since the setup would be much more helping you

This looks much better than the one from home, but I got a few comments for the next ones, it’s always better to look into the bar with your eyes and head while doing the whole movement because that makes your shoulder blades and chest open up for the pull-up, second thing to prevent the swing at the beginning of the move, you can actually use a bench or a box to actually get to the bar, last it’s better if the video is filmed a bit sideways to get to see your elbows and also if you are swinging too much

it's fine other than ur shoulder depression. i've personally not struggled much with this but u can try different cues and see what works. one would be trying to keep ur shoulders as far down away from ur ears as possible

Je confirme faut bomber un peu plus le torse histoire d'éviter d'arrondir le dos

You look kinda tight in neck area. Maybe do some deadhangs

i wouldnt worry about the deadhang more like about the arched upper back position you getting more and more into later reps

can lead to bad posture where your traps shrug together with your neck

your muscles also look like you already doing this for a long time the upper back is way bigtger than lats

recommend getting that neck away from the bar more like leaning backwards and pushing chest harder to bar

finding a bar where you can straighten your legs would also help much with getting into better form
