Pullup / Chinups - Increasing Reps

@Bazza20 I think you missed the sarcasm in my last post..... Did you even read my initial post ? I'm not trying to do 'chins' as you call them or chinups, I'm focusing on pullups and specifically wide grip. It is not like I can't do a single pullup, I can do quite a few... more than most people I would think. I'm seeking advice from people who have experience in this area on how to pass a sticking point that i'm currently at. Your one line answers are not helpful at all to me and anyone else in this situation. If you have knowledge in this area please share it but elaborate.

@jj80 thanks for the advice mate.

Sorry sarcasm often doesn't translate well through text.

Chins, pull ups, what ever. Get good at one and you will be pretty good at the other.

Well I managed to get over 20 pull ups as well chins at 100kg BW by doing nothing fancy. Just doing chins or pull ups a few times a week. I don't think there is any need to get fancy with this.

Don't be a tool.

Ok thanks for your info I will take it on board, looks like the majority are suggesting increasing volume which I will do. 20 @ 100kg is impressive.

Silverback, I wasn't being a tool simply asking for an explanation.
