If you can do more than 10 pull-ups w/your body weight, add some weight on these.

If you can't do more than 10, just do 3 sets of 70% of the maximum # of reps you can do. For instance, if your max @ body weight is 8, perform 3 sets of 6 reps (rounding up).

If you can't do any pull-ups, work the eccentric (negative) portion of the movement. Using a step if you need to, jump up to the top portion of the pull-up, pause, then slowly descend to a dead hang. Repeat this 4 more times for your first set . Do 3 sets total. Watch your chin.
