Pulldowns don't transfer well to pullups. Just do the pullups each set to failure. (Yes, in this case it's kind of necessary to work it to failure...but NOT beyond). Add reps when you can.

If you are can do 10 lbs jumps on squats or deads or whatever do that and stick with it until you need to lower the jumps. If you should be doing 5 pounds then stick with that regardless of how easy it is. Don't make changes up and down with the increments. It's always best, btw, to start with the highest jumps you can make and then go down, rather than vice versa.

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

I think i may have to disagree with this a bit. When i joined the Marine Corps I could only do 7 pullups. After boot camp, i could do 14. I blame this to fat loss. At the same time, i went in curling 80lbs a couple times. when i got out, i could barely curl 60lbs. So my strength definately went down. I went through a period where i didnt really train much at all and my pullups went down to 10. They are now at 18, a couple inches from 19, and i havent done very many sets of pullups in that time. Just WG pulldowns mostly, and some occasional underhand pulldowns. I'm also now 20 lbs heavier than after bootcamp. But i now incorporate pullups into my workouts, sets of 5 with a 25lb plate extra.
