For the last two years I have been doing well formed pull-ups almost everyday. I could not do a single pull-up on Dec 31, 2014. Today I can do 5 perfect formed pull-ups.
I don't mean to judge, because I don't know anything about your background or situation, but do you mean to say that it has taken 2 years to get to 5 pull-ups, and you've been doing them almost daily?
On the surface (again, without knowing you) that seems like slow progress.
Would you mind elaborating?
The reason I ask is that I too have just reached 5 and would like to hear about your journey.
I imagine it'd take me some time to do even one pull-up, as the first months would mostly be me hanging from a bar while I spent some time developing enough muscle to get myself up. Arm, shoulders, core muscles, good joints, and some coordination go into that one exercise.
Pull-ups are one of those 'difficult' exercises, and males have an easier go at it, actually.
