I want to be able to do more pullups. They are already in my routine.
I can do 5 in the first set afterwards it goes down slowly. I am adding reps every week.
Should I keep doing as many as I can or should I stop before failure?

if your primary goal is pullup strength over mass gain, then i reccomend lowering the reps to maybe 3 ( still bw ) and smashing out more sets than usual, despite what some people think, volume > intensity for me, might help you aswell, also you can do pullups everyday if it really is #1 priority, but i wouldnt reccommend it. but usually is you want to get better at something, do it more. works for everything
go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law. now repeat after me, i am free

Would like to know this too. Just started doing pullups today, I did 1 set to failure then just did the negative portion really slowly for 2 sets of 12 afterwards. No idea how I should actually go about it though in order to be able to do more reps.
