Or "PPP". lol Basically, I can't seem to get anywhere with pull-ups. I'm not sure how much I care, as I'm mostly focused on the big 4 (if I include OHP), but I would like to be able to do at least like 6 with good form. The problem is that something is always fatigued or beaten up so when it comes to being fresh for pull-ups, it just isn't happening. Even this week when I thought of just doing them Wednesday with squats my arms were still beat up from Monday. I think another problem is I've gained 12-13lbs since I first started, so obviously it's a little bit more weight to pull up.
So I figure my options are something like...
1. Just forget about trying to get better at pull-ups while doing pl style training.
2. Incorporate other things like assisted pull-ups (which I'm technically already doing), or lat pulls.
3. Quit pl style training so I can focus on bodyweight exercises and calisthenics. (I don't want to do this.)
Obviously I could try doing them on a different day as well, but it didn't seem to help honestly. Thoughts?
