Do not overcomplicate things bro....what you are striving for is maximum muscle hypertophy. 2 reps will not really achieve that.

I'm a big fan of Max-OT style training, I usually complete 1-2 warm-up sets of about 50% max and then 2 work sets. 1 of usually 6 reps then a second of 4 reps.......this style of training is very short and intense, but it has worked great for me. My workouts are very hard but also very short and I'm usually done in 45-50mins.

You can take these principles and add more work sets when you are on gear as overtraining is not really an issue.

Keep doing pull-ups but narrow your grip.....if you want to make things more difficult tie a 5kg weight to your belt and feel the burn.

The 4-6 rep range is a great way to achieve maximal hypertrophy, don't give up on wide-grip chins, just attempt them a little later on when your back is stronger and more well-developed.

Best of luck, Jock
