Awesome! Did you come out of it looking like the last contestant in the “All Steroids Olympics”?
And on a related note, they used to let me teach children. When they talked back in practice I gave them the choice of a mile after practice or 10 behind the head clap pushups. On the first one they would faceplant and I would tell them they had 9 more.

Emphasis on the “used to”. lulz
Yeah, my bro is a teacher and he always tells me “I cant believe they used to let you teach kids” In reality I quit to go back to school. [/quote]
What did you got to school for?
OP I would suggest getting a weight belt and trying some weighted pullups. Also get some minibands and then you can do assisted pullups. I start with weighted and then move to Body weight and then to miniband assisted pullups. Usually good for about 12 sets like that.
If your going to do them that frequently then you should not be going for max rep sets. If your trying to increase your endurance I think every other day would be better than every day. Unless you do 3 or 4 days on then 2 or 3 off.
There’s also no point in doing them that frequently if your cheating so make sure every rep you do you feel. Practice different speeds. Start from the bottom hang for a second then explode to the top as fast as you can only 2 or 3 reps but extremely explosive while feeling the muscles throughout the complete range. Next set you can pause at the top go down slow then fast back up 2 or 3 reps. Last set can be nice and smooth 2 or 3 reps 5 if your feeling that good but not much more. Switch grips every day. Do the 3 sets within 2 minutes. Remember concentrate as hard as you can on how each muscle feels, since that’s what you are really exercising.
If your going for endurance just go for a new total every few workouts. So 30 total reps 3 sets of 10 today, then next week 40 reps set of 12,8,7,5,5,3 until you get to where you want to get to.
Also grip strength is important Some sets completely focus on squeezing the bar throughout the total set.
Firstly nice question and to tell you
there are many ways to start being stronger gradually, that you have to test for yourself.
One sure way is trying it throughout the day, a method called Greasing the Groove.
and apart from that in nutshell I can give you a reference do some research on him and read more over net about how many ways are there and try them all and TEST!

I took this advice and went from being able to barely do a clean few reps with BW and doing assisted pullups to now being able to do a set of 10 and just the other day hit a weighted chin up with BW+60lbs.

When adding weight to pull ups, what sort of rep ranges are you using?

I do a reverse pyramid sortof. After warmup put on something I can do 2-3 times, then drop to something I can do 4-6 times then drop to BW. Trying for a total of 12-15 sets. I do that once a week. Then I do a high volume/BW workout once a week, finishing with band assisted.
