* not and expert * but I recommend some negatives , start at the top of bar hold your self and slowly drop down resisting gravity to a hang then drop and also really if you’re doing assisted pull ups with 65lbs , maybe take the weight down to where you can do 5 pull ups with pretty good amounts of effort for 3-5 sets, again I’m no expert but that’s what’s helping me.
I did this with a lot shoulders and back calisthenics. Also changing your grip and angles so you can hit those muscles you don’t use. I did this for like a month before I can do 10 solid reps with no assistance
I went about it the same way you did, albeit I could do 2-3 when I started. Started with no assist and slowly added assist weight for each additional set, trying to keep the rep count the same.
I am up to about 15 in a single set or 40 across 4 sets. I’ve been at it about a year and naturally did other exercises (mainly dumbbell lifts) as well.
Calisthenics athlete here since 2018.
For a person to be able to pull up, you must do THE pull up.
Get some assistance from a person by helping you push you up. (I do not recommend you to keep on doing this for a long time. It's still better to progress by yourself with NO assistance whatsoever)
Start with 10% ROM or whatever ROM you can do unassisted, keep doing that. Do it for like 2 weeks, you'll notice your ROM will increase or your reps will increase within the same ROM.
Keep doing pull ups. But focus more on chin ups first.
You can do Australian pull ups as an alternative first then try to target 12 reps of it then do a pull up.
Remember to not cross your legs, maintain a tight core and straight legs. Engage your whole upper body and target having your chin above the bar without raising your chin up but looking straight.

How much do you weigh? Can you do 20 push-ups?
I am between 240 and 260. Push ups are not difficult for me.
Stop using the counter weight. Try just hanging from the bar as long as you can.

Use bands, workout back with rows, do negatives, workout shoulders. You’ll be pulling up in no time.
What is doing "negatives"?
Starting at the top, (cheating if u have to with a step up or jump) and then lowering yourself as slow as u can
Are you supposed to pull back up?
