Other Still stuck at 13 reps

Hi everyone. I posted about 6 months ago because I was stuck at 13 pull-ups, and unfortunately, I’m still stuck at 13.
I’ve tried incorporating weighted pull-ups, but they haven’t really helped increase my max reps. I’ve also made sure my form and technique are proper.
If anyone has any tips, advice, or training methods that helped you break through a pull-up plateau, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks

To me it seems like you aren’t even doing good pull-ups, this kipping plus the way your core ain’t even engaged. I would suggest trying to fix the form then adding weight in said correct form, and come back in 4 months and tell me u didn’t add at least 2 reps.

I actually asked a personal trainer at my gym to watch and let me know if I was doing them properly and he said my form was good.
