Bodyweight Have not done pull-ups in long time due weight gain.

2. You could also GTG either your Hollow Hangs (straight arm strength) or Flexed Arm Hangs (bent arm strength)...So throughout the day jump up on the bar and hang for time, long rest between each hang. Your hang time will begin to increase and this will allow for more volume/more time on the bar.

I like this idea. For some reason I never thought about GTG-ing hangs.

Alot of good info especially from pavel and karen. Work slow negatives, but the big thing is when you are doing them lower yourself from your armpits and not from your arms if that makes any sense. This seems to help keep the tension on your lats and not so much on your biceps. If I can find it I will but it is from Tim Almond how basically how to make sure your lats are awake, and that your body "knows" they are their for pulls if you are a hard case like myself. And last Brad Johnson has a book on bodyweight exercises. He uses ab straps to do "no hand pull ups" check it out.
