EXCELLENT! Not easy to do. Keep rockin' that!

I will tell you what has helped me with wide grip pull ups - using the damn machine to cheat to get my form correct. I started off using lots of assist. Gradually I lowered the weight of assist. I can do three sets of 15 with about 60-70 pounds of assist. Without any assist I'm good for 3 sets of 5-7, but that's it. Can barely finish the 4th and 5th one on the third set and that's with plenty of rest between each set.

Keep up the awesome!

I just started using the assist machine to do dips about a week ago, after yesterday I am definitely switching to pullups. I wasn't that far off from being able to do them, just have a few muscles in my back that need to be strengthened. I have been doing close grip pulldown for about 2 weeks now, I read that is good training leading up to pullups, clearly that works. I have been doing wide grip pulldowns for several months, clearly need to up the weight on those.
