    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.

Now, down to 230lb, half way on pull up, and (kind of) almost full rep of chin up, couldn't easily lift my body if my feet are in contact with the floor, but if I was hanging, I could lift my body until my eyes are level with the bar.
