Dead hang to chin over.
Grab the bar with your palms facing out and pull until you can't. Every rep starts from a full dead hang with your arms fully extended and finishes with your chin clearly over the bar.
You can rest while hanging, but the moment you let go or your feet touch the ground, your set's over. Film the whole attempt, log your reps in the Harry's app, and resubmit during the challenge if you can beat it.
Every 5 reps is a ticket.

A max-rep test is simple: one set, as many good reps as you can manage. Push-ups, pull-ups and burpees have been used to measure fitness for decades because they need almost no kit and everyone understands the number at the end.
What makes the number mean something is the standard. Full range of motion, no momentum, the same rules for everyone. A strict rep is harder than a rushed one, which is exactly why it counts.
Film your whole set so every rep can be checked, and your score stands next to everyone else's on the same terms.

- Full range of motion
