    Just as 20 pull ups a day. Whether it's back day or not. Change the grip up do me as many at a time just keep adding them in.

    Most females aren't able to do unassisted pullups as a beginner. You have to progress up to doing them. Band assisted and negatives are good. I also like lat pulldowns and a variety of rows (bent over, seated, one arm etc).

    $30 for a pull up bar you can put in any doorway.

    Pullups
    Seated Rows
    Lat Pulldowns
    DB Rows
    BB Rows or Pendlay Rows

    I do them in this order

    Do you currently follow a program? I find that following a program often has great results due to the set up and the balance between groups.

    Seconding the pullups. And as for women doing, it is just a matter of repitetion and progression... Put the pullup bar in a hallway you pass often. Every time you go through it, try to do anything you can. I started out with an assistance band, but only needed it for a few weeks. Every now and then try one without it and one day it will just happen. Once you can do them, keep doing a few of them several times a day. You will get good fast. If it gets easy, wear a weighted vest to do them.

    It depends if you want width or depth (thickness). I like to do deadlifts followed by bent over rows the finish with dumbbell pullovers.

    Definition comes from reducing bodyfat which requires a calorie deficit.

    Muscle mass comes from progressive training and a calorie surplus.
