60% Is Huge considering the amount of weight your lifting, with some practice and dropping a couple more pounds you will get it. Mad props for posting anyhow... ;) Pull ups are no joke. Your well on your way, take care and happy New Year
Hey dude, try putting one foot on a chair or stool and pulling yourself up. If you vary the distance you'll add more resistance. It's a good way to train for pull-ups and helps get passed that "stall". I can do a few pull-ups but if I workout in a circuit I'll get to wasted to lift my full weight over and over.
I watched again and you're lookin good. There's plenty of muscle on them arms mate! I had similar problems with my lats and added t-bar rows into my back day. I went really heavy for about 5 weeks, then took a week off back completely. Then I tried doing a pull up before any other exercise. Just made it, now I try to squeeze a couple in every other day, to try and improve. It's getting easier slowly, v e r y s l o w l y! Keep going, it'll come in due time!
Is there a way you could rig up something to assist you? Some kind of counter-weighted lever mechanism? You did such a good job making your squat rack that I think you could devise something.
Pull ups are no joke. You are strong. Once you get a routine going you will get it. This is one of my goals this year. The ultimate example of strength. =)
I see that this video is over a year old.
How many pull ups can you do now?

getting close man, keep at it, I can do a combined 320 weighted chinup, if you want someone to chase.

That's better than I can do, I'd just hang there like a fish on a hook with the lower half flapping around. Good job.

you know... I am not 300 lbs, and the fact that you got up as high as you did is very commendable. I have a hard time even with assisted pullups.

Yeah, I'm going to buy a strong band from EliteFTS as soon as I can afford one ($19).
