Blimey, 6ft 4 and only 10 stone? I'd say you should put on a bit of weight mate..

As for pullups - get in the gym and use the pulldown machines with a variety of grips..

Are you sure your in 'immaculate physical health' 6'4 and 10 stones sounds like your under weight tbh.. or are you just thin hence you think 'immaculate physical health'
maybe you need to get some upper body strength :biggrin:

Also something that might help - get somebody to lift you up to the top and then you have to control yourself on the way down - take at least 5 seconds per rep.

Hey, I am in immaculate physical health and I would say I am strong enough but I am unable to do the one thing I will need to do for my rock climbing. HOW CAN I DO PULL-UPS!!!

I can't even do 1! It is my kryptonite and it is a tad upsetting.
I hoep you can help.

(It may be noted my weight is a factor being 6'4" and only 10 stone).

Hope you can help me.

it will be more benficial to you if you just keep rock climbing - the strength will come with that, and will be more functional. push yourself though.

lol, immaculate health means, though being ****ing hell of an underweight guy (I really am trying to increase it) I do try. I'll try my best to get one done.

climbing doesn't involve much strength in your arms actually. But the more strength, the better UI will be at doing the certain annoyingly hard to do with feet bits.

Pull ups are rock. Most people can't do them when they first try them. Just keep at it. Use a chair for a bit of help, and you'll eventually get stronger.

I'm only 5'8'' and weight 9.5 stone. You seem to be a little on the light side. You say you are in immaculate physical health which you probably are but do you have the musle?. You need to build some upper body strength

Yeh, somehow your body will magically put slabs of muscle on your frame for no good reason.

Lesson learned: Always listen to qualified professionals because they always know what they're talking about!
