The optimal pull-up hits two critical positions: a full dead-hang stretch at the bottom with scapulae elevated and elbows locked, followed by a complete contraction at the top. Skipping either end sacrifices growth. The bottom stretch is where hypertrophy stimulus is highest, and cutting it short is the most common mistake in gym pull-ups.
