After completing my first training cycle, I was pretty happy about the gains I made on the Hangboard and Campus board from my first workouts. However my maximum number of reps for pull ups has plateaued after my ~4th or so strength workout at 7-8 reps (using a wide grip) per set. Does anyone have any suggestions that can help me increase the maximum number of reps, so that I can start working more advanced exercises like weighted pull ups, one arm negatives, and staggered pull ups? Lock strength was often a weakness for me before I started training where I would feel my biceps/lats give out on a route before my forearms.
Also as a note, I'd like to do lock off laps. However my school does not have a 45 degree overhang, just a very short flat roof section, so unfortunately doing that exercise would be impossible. Thanks for your help!
I forgot to mention, I could only do about 3-4 wide grip pull ups before I started training.
