For someone who can't do a pull up yet, do you recommend negative pull ups or a assisted pull up machine at a gym? Also, if the machine is the choice then how many reps should I be doing?
I've tried both and I'm not sure what's better.
Both could be an option. If you use the machine you could use regular rep range (5-8). Could be that another rep range would work better for you though.
Bottom line: just do them. Doing full range pullups at a high bodyweight is supremely impressive imo.

band or machine assisted in the 5-8 range. also you can work on barbell rows. deadlifts and powercleans will also build muscles that will help your pull ups

Wasn't the plan to just move it over for "general" discussion or something?
Also: thank you.

What worked best for me was negative pull-ups. Just start with like 3 sets of 5 negatives and try to lower yourself as slow as possible. If you have any spot in or around the house where you can do pull-ups it also helps to just do a few negatives whenever you walk by.

I read somewhere about an alternative SS schedule that allowed for squatting only twice a week or every other workout. I can't remember what it was called. Does anyone know? I work as a server so I'm walking all day plus I do jiu-jitsu and other sports. Hard to get enough recovery with squatting 3x per week.

Yeah I'll move it over after a while.

I would appreciate some feedback on the threads I have OP'd in the new forum guys~
I will probably need someone to make another thread specifically on sleeping.... or decide where to integrate it in....
Any ideas on where to put it? General training?

If not it's own thread, I think general nutrition would be better. Then maybe have it cross posted in general training?

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I'm curious about your recommendation specifically, Logros. Do I have to worry about overtraining if I do negative pull-ups ever couple hours in my free time? I'd love to them as often as possible if it would give me the best results.

Maybe a couple times after you're more adapted.
Don't overdo it with negatives... too many and you'll get some pretty bad soreness that will hinder your workouts
