This is a little beyond the intent of my post but here goes.
I have struggled with the subject of pull-ups. I have done GTG for 10 sets of 10 pull-ups spread throughout the day 5 days per week. I did 20 of the easiest pull-ups after 6 weeks on this program. I was however, weak in pull-ups in terms of limit strength. I was doing the 5x5 routine 2x per week working up to sets of 5 with 25lbs (rest was about 1 min or so). During the Tactical Strength Challenge in January, I did 10 reps with an additional 10kg of weight. I could do 20 to 22 pull-ups easy with training 2x per week weighted 5x5. Much bigger return of investment on the 5x5. I have druged up near shear "clifts" in the jungle carrying all of my gear having only vines and branches in which to hold and climb. The strength/endurance 5x5 for pull-ups is the way to go for me.
With no training I can do 60 to 70 push-ups. I incorporated push-ups to my training as I am shooting to max everything on the SFRE.
