    Are you asking how to increse the number of reps you can do?


    Just doing alot of them would help.

    For example:: every other day or so, do a pyrimad up to 10, then back down.

    And every week, throw in some wide grips, close grips, regular, reverses, and even mountain climbers.

    Look for a good military workout. The book i recommend is Stew Smiths Complete Guide to Navy SEAL Fitness. I did this, about 3-4 months long, and wow, its tough, and amazing....especially for increasing reps of pullups/situps/pushups....running, swimming and biking...

    Get a spotter to work with you.. and incorporate more negative work.

    My traps blew up when I started focusing more on the negative, should work for you if you havn't been before. Good luck

    ^^ Negative work is awesome.. Especally weighted negative work.

    Without a partner tho, the next thing i'd use to increase the rep total on chins would be rest-pause training

    I've used both methods...and both work well.

    Yep I do negative too... I use the gravitron machine (adding negative weight) to do my sets

    Nark is right for the spotter if you dont have the gravitron in your gym.
