How should I improve specifically in pull ups?
I'm currently gaining weight and working out. As of now I can do two sets of five legit dead hang pull-ups with about 1:30 rest in between. I haven't really been able to gut out more in that second set since I started working out about 4 weeks ago.
Should aim to rest longer and do another set to failure, or should I go to lat pull down for two sets after the two sets of pull-ups. If I go to lat pull down (or assisted pull-up for that matter), what weight should I use in relation to my body weight? How many reps should I be aiming for in assisted/lat pull down sets? And how many sets should I do? I don't really want to do more than two on top of already doing pull-ups desu.
Thanks.

3-5 sets. Use negatives if you got too.

is there any benefit to doing negatives if i can rep out 10 reps with weight?

Not OP but is there any point in doing heavy weighted pullups for sets of 5?

One arm negatives.

How many seconds/reps for negatives?

Do your 2x5 pull ups and then do another 3x5 negatives VERY slowly. Afterwards do lat pull downs to increase your volume.
I'm a fat shit (230 lololol) who could hardly do 3 pull ups in June. Now I can do 8-6-6-6-6. Not fantastic, but it is progress.

So is OP's pic the top position for that kind of grip, or should I go higher?

it can also help you bust through plateaus

I usually fill in the gap.
If your goal is 3x8 and your max reps are 6 then do 3x5 with 3 reps of negatives in each set.
Seconds dont matter aim for 5-10 if you can just dont free fall. Slowly replace the negatives with actual reps when your strong enough.
You could also try to add a 1 rep every workout and just not do negatives. Personally I found the extra volume help me achieve reps way faster then trying to struggle out an extra rep every workout.
