I could do about as many in HS but I weighed less back then, I basically look a lot stronger than I actually am now :hs:

im up to repping 6-8 pullups now, took a month or two though

i used a rubber band over the top of the pull up bar in the doorway and got on my knees sideways in the door and did lat pull downs with the rubber band doubled up
it helped me work up to pullups, and i still use it to burn out on, also lots of angles you can switch up to isolate muscles

sun is out today, checking email on campus and then a run

i had 4-5 blocks last week at bball, getting quicker and more hops, still no dunking , also need to get the hand strength up to palm a ball h:
