Should you go all the way down when doing pull-ups or chin-ups? Or should you stop when your arms are at 90 degrees?

1@gwaigh: That question is about injuries to the shoulder. I want to know about effect on the muscles.– Pierre BCommented Feb 17, 2017 at 18:35

1What is your concern about the range of motion? What outcome are you trying to achieve?– Christian Conti-VockCommented Feb 17, 2017 at 18:42

@PierreB - I tend to agree that it is a duplicate. While there is mention of pain, the main question is "Is there any benefit to locking out shoulders", and that is the main focus of all the answers.– JohnP ♦Commented Feb 17, 2017 at 19:35

Well, the harder = the better. Going up and then all the way down is a harder variation and it has a better effect on muscle growth.
