small/thin shoulders?

I don't know that there is. Sounds to me like your weight has gone up too quickly for your strength to keep up. Is that 30-40 pound increase predominately fat?

If I gain 5-10 pounds....my reps on chins go down. You can try doing an all out set this week...and add one rep a week onto your chins. I don't care if that last rep is balls to the wall AND you have to have a spot on them...add one rep a week...till you are at your desired goal.

From there...back down to about a set of 6 or so...then start again.

*Exaggerated expression of mock horror* Sounds dangerously like one set to failure to me B Fold. It'll work for quite a while though, fo' sho.

If my goal is 14 chins...this is what I do...
Week 1: 8 Chins
Week 2: 9 Chins
Week 3: 10 Chins
Week 4: 11 Chins
Week 5: 12 Chins
Week 6: 13 Chins
Week 7: 14 Chins
Week 8: 9 Chins

I usually did 2 sets...but after my first hard set I was usually doing well to get 4-6 on my 2nd set.
