bow down
that 100 pushup program works too I was like wow I actually did a little more than 100 at the end of the program. I started at
15. This was like 4 years ago. I don't even care now. My warm up for bench is like 50 pushups. But I don't try to set records.I can't do a pullup to save my life
What muscles do u need to train? Your back neck and shoulder?

Do rows
If you want to do pull-ups.
Practice hanging from the bar as long as possible for 3 sets. Then increase time.
If possible try to do the negative part of a pull-up. I.e. jump and hold bar in the positin you would be at the top of the movement, then try and do the downward part slowly.
Then rows.
And bicep curl

I do 40 counting down from 40.
For some reason if I start at 1 and count up it's harder to get to 40.

10-15
lat pull downs
do you go to the gym? most gyms have a pull up/chinup/dip "machine" that counters your weight
Pulls ups are one of the best workouts you can do, especially for your back. I don't know why most ppl just don't do them. maybe because they are hard, or maybe cuz you are afraid to look weak in teh gym...I dunno
but pull ups work so many muscles, mostly your lats(and bi's) so work on building up your lats, using other exercises....like lat pull downs.
Haven't maxed out on in it in a while.

Asking someone's pull up or push up numbers is pointless with the huge variation in form and speed and ROM that people use.
I've seen wrestlers back in high school claim they could pump out 200 but when I watch them that shyt was like a 6 inch ROM
Its not the greatest indicator of real world strength like some people try to claim either. Being good at push ups means you are good at push ups, it doesn't mean you are functionally strong. There is a hell of a lot more that goes into strength than any 1 or 2 movements can judge.

I can probably hit 30 but I do the high yoga style pushups with that slow burn as you go down.
