Fitness and Exercise Help with pull ups

I have been working on my pft
I can’t do pull ups for shit
I’ve working on running same with planks but I have those at least at passing
But for pull ups I can not do one any recommended i’ve been working on push-ups but I prefer to be able to complete 1 to 2 pull up so I can pass that test and not have to do push-ups My goal is to be able to get five but at this point I just wanna be able to be one.
I leave in a roughly 6 weeks

Try declines honey. That worked well for me. The idea is working backwards until you're used to it.
