chin ups/pull ups

[kevei]

Ive started stronglifts and i find pull ups/chin ups very hard and cant manage 1 rep on my own.
there's a pull up machine i can use but the program says not to use it,
whats the best way to progress to doing pull ups/chin ups, i workout on my own so i dont have anyone to lift/help me etc.
any advice greatly appreciated
