    OK, here are my personal pull up tips assuming no preexisting injury or motor deficiency.
    1. Determine total body weight
    2. Determine lean body weight
    3. The difference is fat, water, food, waste, etc.
    4. Use a pull assist machine (or bands if you must) and SUBTRACT your body fat.
    You now have a measure of your true strength as a function of lean mass and a basis from which to strengthen. You are NOT weak! Progress could be rapid as one typically loses fat while gaining overall strength, the two variables race towards eachother. This can be exciting for the trainee. I advise pull ups, air squats, pushups/dips every day. Not to failure or with volume ( on an off day ) but as a continuous reminder to the brain that the connection needs to be improved and recruitment maximised. The progress in the gym will encourage continued effort.
    See a sturdy bar? Try a pull up, even if your feet are dragging. Dead time at work? Drop for some pushups or air squats. maybe a few dips while leaning against a sturdy workbench? You get it. We adapt to environments, use yours to train.
    Recover! Sleep, hydrate, quality foods, did i mention sleep?
    Love the channel!
    Peace.

      I know this is way late, but I personally prefer negatives to the rubber stuff. Firstly it's easier (if you have a bench or something), secondly it's closer to the actual lift. The force of the bands changes during the movement.
      Also I think CrossFit is about endurance, right?
