Why the fuck didn't anybody tell me how fun these are? I started about a month ago, couldn't even do 1. I'm up to four now and holy shit it's fun finding new things to do pullups on around the house/yard.

Yeah pull ups are great anon. When you get to 10. Start adding weight.
From the pullup you can muscle up. Its a good show off thing.

>one month
>at 4

sorry, but what is greasing the groove? I really can't do pullups for shit so i'd love advice

>up to 4
Just stick to latpulldowns/assisted machine until you can do 3x8 instead of doing ugly-ass form/injury

Right anon? Theyre definitely my favorite exercise. I like doing them with a 25lbs plate and pausing at the top and bottom.

greasing the groove is doing sets of half you reps max multiple times a day good for those struggling at low rep max

Pavel made it popular. He's the biggest body-weight proponent of all time. GtG is doing an exercise comfortably throughout the day, every day, without reaching failure. For example, doing a handful of pull-ups every time you cross your door frame. It increases the amount of reps you can do on any given exercise at 1 extra rep every day or two (I'm dead serious).
It goes against a lot of bodybuilding ideas, but hell does it work well. I can do 24 pull-ups, full range of motion from GtG. Works for push-ups also, anything when it comes to reps

I've been doing door pullups daily just 1-2 so I think it's the same concept ya?

More rest between sets. Or do less on first set and aim doing more on following sets.
