We typically lock off at the top as well - biceps fully contracted, bar at the shoulders, chin over.
In climbing, the ends are what we do a lot - holding our body weight on long arms or locked off ones.
Starting locked off and lowering yourself slowly is a great way to build up to a first pull-up.

Liberals are violating a 50 year oil tanker ban - one they long defended and just enshrined in law - to satisfy Conservatives for a bitumen pipeline.
It’s clear only the NDP will protect the BC coast, defend Indigenous rights and address the climate crisis.

The Liberals are telling Canadians to sacrifice during a jobs crisis. They have no money to sign pharmacare agreements or meet their housing promises, but they found half a billion dollars to reward companies that just eliminated 4,000 Canadian jobs.

Few movements in Western democracies have waged war on women as relentlessly as MAGA has in the US.
They're a coalition of incels, patriarchal conservatives & religious fundamentalists led by a man accused of sexual abuse by dozens of women.
The Trump Administration are violent, toxic misogynists.
