What the title says. I try to lift my body up, get it an inch above the ground, then get exhausted and just helplessly hang there like a turd ready to drop into the bowl.
I even bought the cucked assisted pullup bands (amazon.com
Same with the pulldown machine, I just can't hit lats and do all the work with biceps no matter how hard I try.

>120lbs
you have literally 0 muscle unless youre a 5ft tall woman, that's your problem
use the pull down machine/lat machine more but WIDE grip and increase weight until u can do a pullup.
im 5'8/85kg male (overweight) and can consistently do 8-10 pullups in a row
lower the weight on the pulldown machine. you can lift at least 10kg for a few reps judging by being able to get an inch off the ground. you don't need to use the pulldown machine heavy, just have it heavy enough that doing 5 reps exhausts you. when you can't do 5 reps, drop the weight slightly. repeat over and over until failure.
Stand on a chair and put the rope around...
Stand on a chair and start a pullup negative at the completed state and lower yourself down. Scooby recommended 4 sets of 8 but do whatever.
Do inverted pull ups and as many negatives as you can. Also eat. How tall are you at 120 pounds? Did you expect to walk in and do pull-ups instantly as a skeleton? Gotta work hard faggot.
>I just can't hit lats and do all the work with biceps no matter how hard I try.
Mind muscle connection is a skill to cultivate, you dont just start "feeling" the muscle first week of the gym. I recommend hanging from your pull up bar and doing sets of 20+ hanging scapula shrugs, this will help build to your first pull up too, just as important as than or pull downs IMO
t. former fat guy, can now weighted pull up +90lbs
>just as important as than
just as important as bands*
Jump up to the bar, and lower yourself as slowly as you can until you can't anymore. Break for 5-10 minutes, and do it 3-4 times in total. Get around 100 grams of protein a day (shoot over).
You'll be able to do 3-4 full, good form pull-ups in a row within a couple months.
Picture pulling the bar towards you rather than trying to lift yourself up. Pulling is easy, lifting yourself makes no sense in your brain. Also do the Scoobs thing with negative pull/chin ups. What also helped me was also to use long ropes and like, do the movement at an angle while keeping my feet on the ground in such a way that I'd fall on my ass if I let go of the ropes. It doesn't target the exact same muscles, but it gives you some pulling progression. I did this and went from can't hold my weight to 1 chin-up only. Lost 5 pounds, went to 6 in a row. Lost another 5 pounds; could do sets of 12.
just hang from the bar for as long as possible
then do negatives
>Heavy hentai

Oh... jesus, eat more. Unless you´re asian , put on some weight.
>Can't do pull ups
>What do?
Negatives, you start out by doing negative pull ups.
Instead of trying to lift yourself up with the pull up bar, you start already at the top of the movement and slowly go down.
So you're just doing the second half the pull up, the going down part of the pull up.
Doing that repeatedly will train your muscles so you can eventually have the strength to do normal pull ups.
Also, changing the way you place your hands, like for example for me it's easier to do chin-ups, so I started with those to get used to the effort and eventually started doing regular pull ups.
It's okay.
There's tons of examples of this on YouTube, when looking at begginer routines.
There's lighter ways to do certain exercises, so that begginers have a way to practice them before being able to do the real deal.
So if you're struggling to do certain exercises, find the begginer version of that exercise.
Doing more reps is better than putting on more weight.
Also your body needs to get used to doing tht motion, that's what fitness is all about after all.
Good luck.
99% of women can't do single pull up so you are not special
