Sure it's possible. Start removing the assistance weights a bit every week...something along the lines of 10lbs a week. On your last rep shoot for a longer concentric and eccentric motion. Also, start pulling doing chins/pull ups more than once a week. Get 'em in 3-4 times a week if you can.

I will find somewhere to work in 2 more days of chin ups/pull ups
I looked up the definition for eccentric and cocentric contractions, I kinda get it lol.
I am trying to take 10 lbs off a week but doing it only once a week I don't think I'm getting as used to it as I should.
Really appreciate all the responses

Now be careful!
I can do 3 BW chins and maybe 2 pull-up (280lbs) but at 270 I could do 7 and 5…..
I also had a tendency to hurt the ligaments in my arms and have to cut back on pull-ups. Right now I’m hurting from over doing it awhile back..I need to heal up and be carful too.

Eccentric-lengthening of the muscle. Think about the downward motion of a barbell bicep curl (or the downward portion of the chin up)
Concentric-shortening of the muscle. Think about the upward motion of barbell bicep curl (or the upward portion of the chin up)
If you really want to get your numbers up, start concentrating on chin ups. Put them first into your workouts even on your non-back days or however your set up is. Walk into the gym, hit two sets of chin ups. Continue with the workout.

This is my workout evo:
Where would you put them in?
