If it works for you, why change it?

Checking if there's some better way.

Honestly this thread was born of me doing some bad math and calculating it would take 11 months to do one bodyweight pullup. I rechecked and it's more like 6 if I do pullups every other workout.

11 months?? I got 1 with a few weeks of negatives. Not saying its better than the machine but lol

Like I said, bad math.

I'm debating dropping leg raises and doing more pullups instead. That will get me down to 3 months.

Tell me about negatives. Do you do only negatives or some combination of warmups, positives, and negatives?

Jump on the bar, chin above it, hold that position for as long as possible, and then lower yourself as slowly as possible.
Basically a negative hold.
That's the shortest way. I mean, it's going to be hard, exhausting and painful (if you have babyskin hands). But so will be adding more pull ups as you progress.
Using assistance is just... JUST.

>positives
What even...

There are some great high rep programs out there if you want to do more than just negatives.

Sounds okay. What's the optimal sets/reps? Just go until I'm tired?

How are assisted pullups different from any other lift?

I really didnt have a linear routine so Im really not the right person to ask, but what I did was negatives for a while till I could do chinups. Then I did a combination of a bunch of negative pullups and the few chin ups I could do. Then I kinda just was able to do a pullup after a bit. Shoulder dislocates and dead hangs as warmups

Can you buy a door frame pull up bar for home? That's what I did and after like four or five weeks of negatives I could do three chins or one pull up

All these replies amd no one even asked your weight. Op how fat are you? Because being fat is basically standard pull ups (which are tough for reps) plus a chain and weight strapped to you. Losing weight is the fastest way to doing pull ups
