Try some neg pull-ups or hangs at the beginning of your workout to help build up strength faster.

Add shrugs

what is that..and how do you do them? thanks btw guys

Negative pull-ups are just doing the negative (eccentric) portion of a pull-up. Get on a box something and place yourself as you would be at the very top of a pull-up and then kick the box out and lower yourself down slowly.

Hangs are about the same, get yourself in the top position again and kick out the box and just hold yourself in that position.

Keep working at it until you can do a full pull-up. Then do one, wait a minute, do another, wait a minute, do another, until you've done a certain number. (Each workout after that try to do as many as you can in each set, so maybe: 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
