Thanks. I've been doing unassisted holds halfway (arms at 90 degrees) but I'll add the others too

Oh, that's great, I think you've got to be almost there then!

Something else you can start adding is holding at the top then lowering down with as much control as possible, and pausing every inch or so. You can also work on shifting weight from one arm to the other between each pause (e.g. lower an inch with as much weight as you can on the left then pause for a second to shift as much as you can to the right and lower another inch).

Thanks, I will try! Currently I can do 2 reps of 4 pull ups using a 35kg elastic band
