Are there any free weight exercises similar to cable pull-downs? I've been getting into parkour lately and I have a hard time pulling myself up onto stuff. For example, I can run up a wall enough to grab the top of it but then I just hang there because I'm too weak to pull myself up. There are literally no gyms around me so I don't have access to a cable pull-down machine. I'd do pullups but as I said, I can't pull myself up so that isn't going to do me any good. Can anyone think of anything?

Do you know anything that will help me push myself up too? That's also cable related :S

Not for during parkour :P, this is training FOR parkour. I'd do negatives on a pull-up bar.
