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?

    @gwaigh: That question is about injuries to the shoulder. I want to know about effect on the muscles.

    What is your concern about the range of motion? What outcome are you trying to achieve? Commented 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.

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.
