There area a couple of interesting programs listed there although I've never tried any of them. http://www.performancemenu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=728 If I remember right, Dragon Door has a lot of pullup related articles that might be worth a read as well. Ultimately I agree with everyone above, volume and consistency are the key but sometimes I like toying with progressions--it makes you feel like you're accomplishing something.

I agree they should be done virtually every free minute.... I work in the building game. Every spare second I get I do several sets from scaffolding:):) Make sure the boss is away of course.. Its one of very few exercises where you do seem to benefit greatly by doing them as often as possible. Use it or lose it is very much applicable to pull ups!! If you can do sets of 8 easy STOP!!!!! Get a dipping belt and strap enough weight to you where you cannot manage anymore than 5 reps per set this will build pure pulling power mix that up with high rep pull ups to get your muscular endurance up aswell.. I am currently doing close grip chins, sets of 5 reps with a 45kgs dumbbell strapped to me.. With regards to chin ups.. I agree they should be done virtually every free minute….
