Getting better at pullups

Well I can't really be too happy with the rest of my training but I will say that my pullups have improved substantially.

Two months ago I started with one. One whole pullup. Now I'm up to 9. Also, 3 weeks ago I did a 10 minute EMOM with sets of 5. I finished total reps about 30. Maybe. Today I totaled 47. So close.

So what's the secret?

Every damn day. Even if it's just 20 or less. I still get some pullups in when I'm at the gym. Doesn't matter what I'm doing. Just get them in. This used to be a chore. Only performing 1 or 2 at a time was rough. But over time they got better. And with that getting volume in is relatively easier now.

So my goal now is to hit that 50 mark then add 2 minutes. Also, I'm shooting for 15 in one go. Just a matter of time.

Oh yea, and I'm still over 260. So I'm not getting better because I lost a bunch of weight. That fact could be good or bad depending how I look at it. :/
