You should definitely do a full oap when making a tutorial video. Even in some of your progressive exercises, you stop at about 3/4 of the way up, which is not ideal for demonstration. The last part that you're leaving out is definitely the hardest and holding the lock-off at the top should be the end position. Even in your isolated lock-offs you don't hold the true top position, but about the middle position. I recommend you try ring-one-arm-chin-ups to test if you can really pull yourself up with one arm, because that way it's easier to "feel" when you reach the final lock-off position. You still look really strong on the bottom half of the oap, so with a bit of training on the top half you should get really good at oaps rather quickly. For practicing the top part, I recommend either holding the (true) top position, or using a resistance band to do 3-5 full reps. A resistance band is good for that as it helps you less at the top than the bottom, because the band contracts as you pull up.

Thanks for taking the time to write such detailed feedback. It's true that in my little "gimmick" intro I didn't go all the way up and didn't really hold it, because I got fried from doing multiple takes of it haha It's strange, but actually the bottom part of the oap is the hardest for me. For the left arm for example, that's where I get stuck, but if I start a little engaged, then the rest is no problem. But I think it varies for different people. But your point about the band helping with training the top position is definitely valid, it certainly provides less help up high

Thanks for the information, you just got a Like and Subscribe from me. If you can make like a training regiment with progression for like a month video it would be amazing.

Ah, cool idea, thank you! I can try to do that for sure, even though it will then need to be adapted to each person's level
