Help needed with pull-ups (lemmy.world)

I am kinda new to pull-ups and i am having a problem. So right now I can do 8 pull-ups in a row but if I try to do another set after some rest, I can only get 4 to 5 reps. Is there something I can change with my pull-up training?

I like Pampers, but that's just me. Your mileage may very.

Seriously though, 8 is a pretty good number, I've been working out for years and can only get 1 to 2 at a time.

Like others have said you probably need to rest longer. Another option is to use an assist like a band and build volume that way.
