Hi guys ! please critique my form on Wide grip tuck l pullups. Thanks

Hard to tell from this angle, but i believe you'd want your hands a little wider.  Good looking form otherwise, though.  You've got the strength for it.  Good job!

Thanks ! In conclusion I have to go more wider ?

'Wide grip' round here means a minimum of 1 5* shoulder width, preferably 2* :)

Nice job! From your later photos, the original video was a wide grip. Time to move on to a harder variation  :)

Thanks ! I'm trying to move to Wide grip L-sit pullups but in the bottom of the eccentric portion still can't fully extend my arms.

you should completly "dead hang" at the end of each rep and also make sure you dont use reflex strength when go up again so try rest there for 2-3 seconds

L Pull Ups stress the hollow position. Note how there is a fairly large arch in your back on the first rep, the following reps it's not as bad through there is still a touch of arching into the pull.

 

Were you to go all the way to a dead hang, most likely you would be arching like your first rep.

 

Work on really holding the bottom ribs in at the bottom. It's going to seem like it takes a lot more strength to initiate the pull.

Thanks ! If I understand, the idea is to eliminate completely the arch and also keep a hollow body position.
