40 y/o Looking to Get to 15 Pullups
Title pretty much says it. I’ve worked out regularly in my life but stopped a few years ago. I have intermittently worked out a couple times a week for the past few months.
Currently, I am 215 to 220 pounds. 6’1”. No real health issues or bone/muscle problems.
I was crazy into calisthenics about 8 years ago. I was working my way up to the one-arm pull-up. However, even when I could do 3 weighted pull-ups with 115 pounds on me, I still could not do more than 10 regular, strict pull-ups.
For context, I could do 25 pull-ups when I was 180 pounds or less. I’ve definitely gotten stronger since then but I can’t help but think I need to lose weight, too.
Any advice on helping me get to 15 pull-ups would be appreciated, even if the advice is just “lose weight.”
At the moment, I struggle to do 5 or 6 strict pull-ups.
