If you can’t do the thing, you usually can break it up into smaller constituent things. Keeping with the pull-ups. My wife can’t even do 1 pull-up, but she’s broken it down into a couple of foundational movements and she’s doing them, and getting stronger every day. Doing reverse pull ups, and miniature flexes at the base of the pull up motion, and a couple of others.

She’s probably got another 4-6 months until she can do the full pull up, but it’s coming.
