Technique, finger strenght/weight raito and recovery. Everything else is a party trick.

When I try to train pull-ups I end up with really bad tendinitis, over the years I tried a few times always with the same result. Maybe is age...almost 53 training gets very creative to keep improving...

Those are hangs, hang one minute 15 seconds off five times, wait five minutes and repeat three times. They will increase you endurance to which ever power you possess at the time. It will not increase you power but it will do wonders for your endurance.

Hey tutu
Did you build your own max pull or buy one back in the day and does it have skate tape on it? Just wondering how slippery your surface is (that you hang on to) dang that didn't get any better... I'm out...

We made out own and it has skate tape. I have pictures with measurements on FB if you want to look at them. It is very easy and cheap to make. Look in one of the albums dedicated to building a maxi-pull.

what about a vote for 25 pullups and under 5.6...that'd be the meatheads at the local lifting gym.

The meatheads at the local lifting gym can only do 6 half pull ups... And that's the really strong ones...

Would you be kind enough to post the link to the album? I am interested in building one. I have seen one before, but would like to know some dimensions, etc. I need something for endurance super bad. I have a decent bouldering wall, but need something to work endurance.

Forgive my ignorance, but what the heck is a maxi pull, I tried to google it but just got a bunch of pictures of feminine products
