    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

Which is the best method for increasing pull up numbers? And does anyone know if using GTG for pull ups would cause any strength imbalance if you use the 5x5 for everything else?

Doing pull-ups is the best method :D

GtG is indeed useful, make sure though to have at least one full resting day per week and do not do it for months straight (I would say, 1 resting week then per month, not doing GtG).
It can be done in combination with SL5x5.
