Might not work for you, but this is the way I do it. When I started back I could only do about 5 good reps, to me that's not even worth getting on the bar and doing them.

I start out with lat pulldowns, since it's pretty much the same motion as a pullup. I started out doing sets of 10-12, and gradually increased the weight every couple of weeks. I also concentrated on other back moves but the pulldowns were the key.

It's not going to happen over night it takes time, but when I got strong enough on the lat pulldowns I migrated back to doing pullups. By this time I was to doing 10 solid reps, and from there I just kept doing the pullups every week increasing the reps or adding weight.

Again this might not work for you, but it has served me well over the years.

pull ups are hard for a lot of people. just practice them and you will get better at them

You should be able to do at least 20........J/K Like everyone said it takes time. You just don't get under the bar and squat 300 lbs do you???

Just keep working on it buddy. Every time you work them, strive for just one more.

I could only do like 3 a month ago but just practice each time you do back. I do 5 sets every single one to failure and now I'm up to 12.
