Add weight with a dip belt and the reps will drop down for a while. When you can pop off 20 with a 25 pound plate - you'll hit 30.

Do them once per week as the first exercise in your back attack. Afetr a couple of weeks of doing them once per week - the reps will probably jump to 30 simply from the added rest/recovery

That's fuckin ridiculous
I'm saying that's a lot of reps, good shit bro, You really train 3x a week? To improve pull-ups I would suggest a weight belt like Cornholio said. I also would suggest some bicept exercises since these muscle and the one in your forearms are the one that usually fatigue first. But if yours don't then try doing one arm row after your pull-up routine because you can strengthen each arm more by concentrating on them individually. Hope this helps.

youre a sick mofo if you are over 20 and just want to bang out 30 at a PFT to show off. damn you!
hehe.
do sets of 15(roughly). tell yourself you wont leave until you do say..45 or 60 pullups and just pick a rep range then rest, another set then rest. eventually you will be doing higher rep ranges in your sets and your total volume will increase as well. thats one method you could try. i tell my guys that cant do more than 10 that they cant leave until they do 30 reps total. i tell em i dont care if they jump up and barely get out 2, that will be 15 sets of 2 then. hehe.

Damn Jarheads huh!!! Me showoff..Never...
I do pyramids to 8 which is like 64 total on Mondays. Usually do 3 max sets on Wednesday, and then will do pyramids again on Friday.

problems with pullups....
i have a relatively strong back and arms (both things i think you would need to do pull ups) and i can only do 8 widegrip behind the neck..... should i try weighted dips or just continue to do them at the reps and try to increase it slowly if i can?

I just flat out SUCK at wide grip pullups. I have a friend that we can both do the same on wide grip pull down with great poform. And yet on wide grip pullups he straps on 75lbs and does 10reps. I can barely do 8 reps WITH NO WEIGHTS! Needless to say i gave up wide grip pullups. lol I know its a great back builder but i'll just stick to wide grippulldowns.
