    I had a little trouble with pull ups in the beginning i will tell you what helped me total fitness. i went from a football player benching over 300 lbs, 600 lb squats so forth and so on but i couldn't run for crap or do pullups once i started shedding unneeded weight by dieting and aerobic exercise (running every day!) don't crash diet just cut the crap you still need like 5,000 calories a day to be able to do the excersises so make them good calories twinkies are like 600 crappy calories. I started pumping out pull ups no problem. you just have to stay committed to yourself. Hey I sound like the scullery private at the chow hall at M.C.R.D. Semper Fi good luck.

    Listen to Sixguns, as he said, the best way to get better at pull-ups is by doing them. When I went to Bootcamp I was the only guy in my plt that did over 20 pull-ups in my initial PFT, I did 26. My Senior DI said at that time that I was going to be the "pull-up Private" from that point on. Besides all the pull-ups during the course of each days training, I also had to do 100 pull-ups every evening during our 1 hour of free time. The Gunny would holler "Pull-up Bar"!! I would respond with "Pull-up Bar AYE! AYE! SIR!! I would then drop what I was doing and run to the bar and do 20 pull-ups. This went on 5 times during that hour until I did 100 total. I did that all during bootcamp and in the end won the pull-up competition during our field meet with a 57 pull-up total.
