I have to agree with "If your goal is to do more Pull-Ups, then the best way to get better at them is to perform more Pull-Ups."

I use the rafters in my garage and monkey bars at the local playgrounds. I start with doing negatives, work my way up to 1 unassisted, at this point I do 1 unassisted pull up - rest 1 minute and repeat until 24 pull ups have been completed even if I have to finish with negatives. As I progress, I decrease the rest time between each pull up until I can do full sets. I used this routine to build up to weighted pull ups and was doing sets of 10 with 25lbs until my car accident/back surgery. I have had to start all over again, right now I'm at the 1x24 but each week getting stronger and stronger.
