I also have done P90X a few times, S90, CLX, STS and other Cathe weight workouts and Jari, and I still can not do an unassisted pull up, and typcially use the bands. I agree it is very frustrating.
I do often notice improvements with push-ups. I can't keep up with Cathe, but have done 20 on my toes in a row during P90X. After that it is on my toes. Sometimes I suprise myself with the Push up drop sets in some of Cathe and Jari's workouts. Typically only have to go to my toes when they are two counts up/down. I do have pretty good core strength, but maybe it's not good enough for the pull up.... |

I have been working on upper body strength for years, and on pullups specifically for the last 15 months. I still cannot do an unassisted pullup. My upper body has pretty defined muscular structure and I know I am strong. I can do Oly lifts with relatively heavy weights and I can do pushups pretty well.
I do think some of us have physiological shortcomings, if you will, and will have a harder time achieving our pullup goals! So I can relate. I'm in the boat you! Do not despair. Many of us have the same types of issues.
