After getting over my little 'form-shock' episode (see above), I've tightened up my technique, used static holds and re-filmed my pullups.
So now, I can get;
10 good ones. Real good.
15 fast and loose, bit iffy ones.
I'm a lot more buoyed than I was previously. In fact, I didn't realise how good my back looked when I was doing pullups. Size isn't anything to write home about, but every muscle is popping out nicely.
Static holds are the only real thing I've done differently, and I'd recommend them wholeheartedly. I haven't started adding weight yet. If I can every do 3 sets of 10 good ones, I'll start adding weight to the belt.
