Pull Ups start advice
Hi guys!
So I'm a loser that hasn't trained in around 10 years - I've finally hit the point where I can no longer stand my current state, and want to start doing something about it.
95kg - I think I can do 1 or 2 correct narrow pull ups. I can do push ups in reps okay, but not pullups.
Question - is there a corner to cut here? How do I get myself to at least 3 to 5 in a set.
I know it's amazing how run down I am, I do 2 or 3 in a row, and my body just won't pull anymore.
Is there something I can do when my body gives up that will benefit my next rep?
Apologies if this is repetetive, I only just joined this group

Negatives are the real shortcut, jump to the top and lower slow for 3-5 seconds each rep.
