still having problems with pull ups

[GreatNes]

i've been doing alot of back in my routines for the past 6 months but i still cant really do a pull , i can pull my self about half way up they i just still about half way . when i first started lifting i was 140-145lbs im 164lbs now so i dont know if dropping 10+ pounds of bodyweight would help or not . should i give it more time or am i doing something wrong ?

Put your feet on a chair or box of some kind and work on your ROM. Just keep your toes or the ball of your foot on the chair to assist you, and get good tension.

Soon you'll be doing 3, 6, 10 reps....

High volume inverted rows

Do lat pulldowns instead until you're strong enough to do pullups. Also you could practice the negative,so get on a bow or something and start at the top position of a pullup and lower yourself as slow as you can until you're at a deadhang,repeat as many times as you can.

good idea. It was also help if you did assisted pull-ups.

Pull ups have been my arch nemesis for years now. Im 200+ pounds and I can currently only do 4-5 fresh BW pull ups. On training days I use band assistance and focus strongly on the negative portion of the lift. Also I incorporate Lat pull downs every week to compensate for lack of pulls ups in my routines.

If your gym has the assisted pull up machine do those and just gradually drop the assist weight. When I started I liked to do one raw pull up attempt first where I exerted max effort (even if I failed) and then moved to the machine and just did sets of pull ups TO FAILURE!

The first gym I ever trained at had one of these and I never used it. I regret that now. If you can find one do it. Pull ups will take time. I can't begin to tell you how many pull ups Ive done with one/two legs on a chair/bench.

i've been doing cable rows , reverse flies and lat pulldowns for about 6 months . then this month i started doing bent over rows , high rows , and other back work . i feel like i have good delts but its when i do my back exercises like pulldowns i feel as my lats dont get hit .
