If your goal is to learn to do a pull-up and you are using your legs to assist or using some kind of machine, that can be a great way to learn, but you may eventually run into a similar issue that people do when they try to do pull-ups after only practicing on a pull-up machine where you may already have the strength to pull down your body weight or more. But then you try it on a pull-up and you're like, "Wait a second, why is there so much difference between assisting 5 lbs and a full pull-up? " And the good news is that you probably already have most of the raw strength needed, but you just need to learn the skill of the pull-up. The arm path might be slightly different than you're used to and there's a bit more stability required. Thankfully, the solution is pretty simple. See if you can find something to grip around this height. And if you can do so without pain, hop to the top and then slowly lower yourself down. And if you're able to, you can assist your way back up and then lower on your way down. And it may feel weird at first, but you'll start to be able to hold more and lower yourself down under more control as your body fairly quickly adapts to the new skill of pulling itself up. You can also practice this with bands or horizontal pull-ups. And you can also start building towards some 10, 15 second holds towards the top, middle, and bottom parts of the pull-up. So you can build some familiarity with those ranges.
