BW+22 some odd pounds is really good. Most people can't hardly do pullups period. Pullups for many are the hardest thing there is. Let alone if they aren't being prioritized. You've already shown you can do them. As soon as you get to a point where you can put a little bit more priority on them you'll probably have no problem.

Another thing to keep in mind is sometimes it is better to fit the workout to your state of fatigue. So this time you did 5,4, and 2. At a guess I'd say when you were doing the 5 it already felt like it was going to be a bad day for pullups. NO? What I would have done is stop at 3 if not even 2 reps on the first set. Rest. Hit another 2 or 3. Rest. Hit some more. Just low rep it. It doesn't have to be long rest periods. Just a little recovery in between. So you end up getting more reps overall. You will leave the gym feeling a little better and you will get a training effect. Then on a better day you can increase the density.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
