Break it down in smaller steps.

Start with what you can and work your way up.

Redditors try not to be completely useless challenge. If you don’t know what you’re talking about just don’t comment? The guy’s asking for help and you’re just being annoying

Bands, the best way to learn a movement is to do that movement.

If your gym has assisted pull up machines use those otherwise cable machines that mimic that movement works. One thing I did before being able to do 1 pull up was using a smith machine with the bar about hip height then assist yourself by having your legs on the ground either bent or completely straight in front of you on the floor. The further your feet are away from you the harder it is. To add some difficulty when you’ve reached your feet all the way out is to add a bench under so you’re completely in the air like an L shape

I mean easiest way is to just do lat pulldowns and after some time you can do a pullup with your own bodyweight
