Try using a resistance band to give yourself a boost
Stretching one of the really thick resistance bands to give yourself a little more lift is a great way to see some progress. Like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb7DIH2a6Yo
You can also try negatives - where you start at the top and lower yourself down. Again, this can be helped with a band, or even start on a stool or box to get yourself in position then hold for a few seconds before lowering. Negatives are a great way to put stress on the muscle, which is ultimately what helps make you stronger.

Thank for this. Yeah I'm starting with static holds at the top of the bar. Can manage around 5 seconds at the moment. And getting some elastics too...ta
