That soundls like Rack pullups or whatever. That's good too. You can also try negative only pullups...where you just do the lowering portion. Try to lower for 3 or 4 seconds. Start out just with a few of them until you assess how sore you will be and how your elbows take it, etc..
You can also do band assisted pullups. That is where you take like a one inch stretch band and use it as a sort of "cradle" and allow it to assist you dong the pullups until you can get some good reps out of that.
Yeah, and keep doing that other thing...but it's not exactly the same as a pullup because of the increased stabibility so you'll have to hit the chins/pulls in some way to get really better at them. Now, you said pullups and pullups are technically using a pronated grip (palms away from you). Can you do better with chinups which use a suppinated grip (palms facing you)? Most people can do better with chins simply becasue to the more favorable bicep contribution.
I don't know if you work out at home or at the gym but it would help you tremendously if you had a way to do pullups at home.
When you can only do one pullup at a time that doesn't mean you can only do one pullup "per day". The russian "volumization" technique is great for that. That just means you do pullups for "quality" reps often. It could mean a couple of times a day and several times throughout the week. Using that technique the emphasis would be on low rep sets and HIGH QUALITY reps where you NEVER go to failure. This is basically a thing where perfect practice makes perfect.
Usually, however, if you already can do more pullups but just need to be able to get the reps up even more, taking, say, three sets with the last set to failure will help get reps up. Taking the last set, or even a few sets to failure actually can help with increasing endurance (rather than absolute strength/power) but this only works if you can already do 2 or 3 sets of something like 4 or more...not sure what would be the magical right amount though.
