Also for pullups dont spend it all on the first set. I find I progress much faster when I go try to build up to sets across. so instead of 7,5,5 do 6,6,6 and the next workout hit 7,6,6 the 7,7,6 and so on.
I find that progress while not quite as fast, is sustained much longer with 5 sets instead of 3. Pull ups also respond well to low reps thrown in occasionally. 5 heavy singles alternated with say a BW sets of 4.
