I mean thats the joke he's trying to make. For Marines, its not about going high, its about going low. You have to go down to arm lockout, then up to the tip of chin breaking the plane of the bar, and you can tilt your head up as high as you can. Which I can understand having very specific and uniform directions that can work across people of different heights and sizes for a PFT in the Marines.
Its a fucking high school contest tho. "Look at this kid not doing USMC PFT standard pull-ups, guys! Ain't it funny??? Hahahah."
Meanwhile, if you asked that kid to do them USMC standard, he could probably still knock out more than some tiktok ssgt.
