    I‘m tired of not getting better at pull-ups

    @greg67 Working on rows made my progress in pullups skyrocket. Also - try greasing the groove with starting something like 1 pullup every hour every day. Another way I've seen successful is accumulating volume in unrelated workouts, so if you can do say 8 good reps per set on your pull...

    Barely progressing despite doing everything right?

    @purposelychosen86 Supplement with melatonin. Start with low dose (I think 1mg is available anywhere in the world) and increase in case you need more. Make sure you eat well, don't nap during the day and don't eat at least 2h before getting to sleep.
