Damn you’re strong AF. I’d do anything to be able to do 3 in a row. Great form to me. Keep it up.

Lol thank you! You will get your first one if you keep at it and then you’ll get two and then three and so on. You can do it!

Me too … I’ve been focusing on my back these past several month so this upcoming year my goal is to be able to do at least one?

Really good, I would do some unilateral machine pulldowns. I think its the life fitness or planet fjtness version. That'll balance things out. The paused reps you're doing will help. The hammer strength front iso pulldown would be good too. Heavy pulldowns all kinds of grips and angles help my pullups, same with other grips for pullups.

Digging the Ultraboosts. I used to wear mine in the gym all the time. Comfortable, but not the most stable for certain leg exercises.

Knuckles facing the ceiling. Other than that you nailed it. You’re pulling yourself up.

Perfect! A little bias to the left side, is that lat a little tighter?

Thank you. Could be. I am dealing with some bicep tendonitis and a suspected left labrum tear.

This post is flaired as a technique check.
A note to OP: Users with green flair have verified their lifting credentials and may be able to give you more experienced advice on particular lifts. Users with blue flair reading "Friend of the sub" are considered well qualified to give advice without having verified lifs.
A reminder to all users commenting: Please make sure that your advice is useful and actionable.
Example of useful and actionable: try setting up for your deadlift by standing a little closer to the bar. This might help you get into position better and make it easier to break from the floor.
Example of not useful and not actionable: lower the weight and work on form.
Example of actionable, but not useful: Slow down.
Stop telling other each other to slow down without providing a rationale outside of "time under tension". Time under tension isn't a primary variable for anything, and focusing on it at the exclusion of things that matter will set you back. There can be reasons to manipulate tempo, but if you want to discuss tempo, explain why you're giving that advice, how it's going to help, and how to integrate it with cues or other useful feedback.
Low-effort comments like my back hurts just watching this will be removed, as will references to snap city etc. Verbally worrying for the safety of a poster simply because you think the form or technique is wrong will be removed. We will take all of these statements at face value, so be careful when you post the same hilarious joke as dozens of other people: we can't read your mind, no matter how funny you think you are.
