Yep- I feel that (despite definitely not being a strongman of any description ).
Get envious of the climbers/ amateur MMA people / calisthenics people repping endless strict pull ups , compared to the few I can do strict .
Keep meaning to try the little but often approach. but cant quite work out how to fit it in with regular gym sessions going heavy
chrismanc-
Literally just go over to the pullup bar the second you finish a set and crank a few easy ones out then walk back to your main exercise. No need for an extra rest period or anything.
This took me from a max of 8->12 @95kg in a couple of months. I'd rarely do a set of more than 5 or 6 in that timeframe.

I need to add chins back in. Going from lithe rockclimber repping out weighted pull ups to chunky strongman who can do a max of 2 bodyweight pull ups means they hit me right in the ego.
