To put it simply and bluntly. My pull ups suck. Chin ups no problem. What and where can I find the best SFG resources on how to do pull ups?

@HUNTER1313Pull ups suck as in I can't do one. I can pull my a#@ off till I'm bluer in the face than any man should be, but I don't really budge.
You can also place a rubber band on the bar. Then, you use it by placing your feet inside the loop. this will assist you. As time goes by, you reduce the resistance of the band by choosing a thiner one. This is a strategy used (among others) to learn the muscle up for instancePull ups suck as in I can't do one.

The band method is certainly simpler, but it is unfortunately nonlinear in its application of assistance...Hello,

This is certainly true for many people. However I have also heard people say that the sticking point for them is the lock-0ff at the top position.Hello,
@offwidth
That is true.
But in this case, the resistance will be higher when you need it to be higher: at the beginning of the move, when you have to initialize the concentric phase from the dead hang position. Indeed, once your arm reaches (and go beyond) the parallel, assistance can be reduced because the lever becomes more favorable.
I used this method (among others I admit it) to learn the OAC with pretty good result. What I mean, this "method" makes you work harder where you need.
However, I also agree with you about the fact that the pulley system is far more "scalable" than the band
Kind regards,

In case it helps - I worked up to pullups with inverted rows on rings and bent arm holds from the pullup bar. Then added negative pullups until I could do one positive rep. Then I did sets of one rep and added a hold at the top when I was able. The next step, and this seemed to make the difference, was to stay with one rep sets with a hold at the top until it felt strong and confident before moving on to two rep sets.Pull ups suck as in I can't do one.

Bands are actually pretty linear in their application of assistance. Not as good as springs but fairly close.The band method is certainly simpler, but it is unfortunately nonlinear in its application of assistance...
