Hey,

I've been following the recommended routine and I've got a question about my pull-up progression:

I have a door frame bar that hangs too low for me to be in a dead hang if I just grip it, I have to raise my legs to hang. When I do that, I cant do a pull-up. But if I just grip it while standing (which still leaves my arms fully extended, just not my scapula fully lifted) I can do a few pull ups (I am not jumping into it or using my legs at all, its all upper body).

Would it be more beneficial to me to do these sort of upper half pull-ups or should I still be doing negatives until I can do pull-ups from a dead hang? I would still be doing some scapular pull-ups to practice the lower part of the movement.
