Hey /fit/, I've got a question for you.

I've recently started doing my pullups from the upper landing at the top of my stairs instead of from my door pullup bar because then I don't have to worry about my legs and it's easier to get into a dead hang. However as you can see from the pic it isn't an ideal solution since my forearms are supported when I do them.

It's harder to hold on to than a bar so grip strength has improved, but I'm wondering what muscle groups I'm neglecting/overworking because of the forearm support. Anyone know the answer?

probably just abs

pullups for lats. by keeping the forarm still you are most likely just isolating your lats a bit more. if I am wrong, just do your pull ups anyway.

btw. for your door jam bar you could raise your knees in front of you (chair position) to add some abs into the mix, or pull your legs back for a proper hang.
