This level of training is excellent. The breakdown and analyzing of the skill really makes it achievable. This goes for any skill. half the time when people believe that they can't achieve something.

I wouldn't bother with trying to do assisted full range of motion reps to be honest, especially if you are doing weighted pullups. Edit: I stopped training for 3 years though and recently started again but I'm now 15lbs heavier than what I used to be (a lot of that is muscle). I just started training for the one arm pullup again, I can currently barely even hold a negative for a few seconds.

​@@Fidelity7 try band assisted like he showed, except the band supports you from your feet Also, plug any leaks in your kinetic chain (keep your core tight and put your legs slightly in front of you, like when you tighten your glutes) Stabilize your shoulder blades before you lift, and try to pull your chest to the bar, not your chin Aim your chest at the bar so you are using more of your back muscles Strengthen any weaknesses in your shoulders with exercises that are good for your rotator cuff etc (I don't know the specifics on these but with a few cursory searches I'm sure you could find them)

[@bucketspree4952]

​@@Fidelity7 Also I saw a video on smashwerx where he said a one-rep-every-minute technique is better for your stamina than doing all at once Remember you are lifting heavy weight so your body needs a little time to recover If you can do 5 with good form I'm sure cleaning up a little technique and doing some stabilizing exercises will push you past that plateau

[@Oboendband]

So cool!! I’m working the system to get to clean pull-ups. We all start somewhere!

[@danielbeall7725]

Doubt anyone will see this or care, but a much more consistent method: Option 1: Band assisted, holding near the top of the band. Do 3-5 sets of ~4-6 reps. Use a heavier band if you can’t. DO NOT grab lower on the band. Instead add weight in addition to the band to progress. Option 2: Same rep scheme (people tend to drop too low, doing 1-3 reps with poor form) but either assist with a pulley in the off hand instead of a band, or if you have access, just use a cable pull down machine with a one handed attachment. Good luck 🤙🏻

[@jyymorrison1445]

Big muscles are irrelevant, strength is about a well developed branching system (cardio respiratory and nervous systems). That’s why there are some small guys who can achieve crazy feats of strength Edit- big muscles could mean you have more capacity for strength. But regardless irl it doesn’t matter too much if you’re physically the strongest unless it’s your spiritual calling. Be an all rounder, strong fast, agile, intelligent, wise, healthy, and a true man/woman. Also Testosterone isn’t too important either.

[@carlpanzram7081]

What a load of nonsense. The reason why some small guys can be strong, is because they are genetic freaks.

[@kenderpl]

Big muscles are absolutely relevant as bigger cross-section of a muscle is a great predictor for raw strength it can provide. It's not all there is to it as technique and neural activation also are contributing but that's not the same thing as size being irrelevant. What is worth keeping in mind htat strength increases due to size have a tradeoff when it comes to things that are strength to weight ratio dependent. Like pull ups or one arm pull ups.
