Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I'm 22 years old and I've always been super weak on pullups, i can remember in PE they laughed at me in high school cause i could barely do 1. now I can do like 5. I see some older dudes that can do like 40 in a row like nothing. what is an easy routine that i can follow to improve on these?
This has come up a few times.
they have assisted pullup machines in the gym. if you can only do 5 you are going to want to start there and do sets of 10-15 and lower the weight. then you can go back to the bar and do them. once you can do 10 of those then start adding weight to your body
it is gradual improvement and making your body stronger. that is what this is all about

The way I got really strong and built my back up over time was dead hang pull-ups full range of motion, completely hang arms stretched all the way out and pull from the elbows chin above the bar and squeeze at the top and slowly lower and hang, its brutal but worth it
Assisted pull up machine or lat pull-down until you can do a few actual pull-ups....then concentrate on those and increasing reps until you can possibly add weight
Just continue to practice and do the pull ups. Also work on your lats with other exercises.
