This can vary based on grip width and the individual. However, pulling the bar down to the upper chest is often a good starting point for very new beginners. Some lifters will pull the bar down to their sternum. This can create an excellent contraction if the shoulders do not round forward during the movement. Conversely, some lifters will pull the bar only to their chin, which allows them to lift more weight but may sacrifice range of motion and a better contraction.
