ok so some of the tendons in my left arm are a bit damaged, but before I did that, these tips worked pretty well.
PUSHUPS: being able to do alot of pushups at body weight wont really increase muscle mass, unless you continually add weight. But if you want to get up to 100 pushups then do the 100 pushups routine, it works if you stick to it, I got up to about 60 consecutive pushups, but I dont weigh that much so ja.

or you could try doing 10 sets of one chinup for a week, then 10 sets of two and so one. Once you can perform 10 consecutive chinups you should be able to perform 1 pullup, I tried this method and it worked for me. To add weight you can either wear a back pack (or rucksack for americans) with some light weights in it, or if you are a BEAST you can attach extra weight plates to your belt/weightlifting belt, or you could even hang kettlebells off of it.
remember to eat some protein afterwards or you will see slower gains
