Alternatively, you could stand on a box or chair, and hold yourself up as much as possible with your arms, using your feet as little as possible for assistance.

This is embarrassing, but do you have any suggestions for an even easier modification than the timed flexed hanging? I can hang in a chin-up position, but when I try to even hang in a flexed pull-up, I fall right down. It must be a bicep vs shoulder/back strength issue, and I'm not sure how to address it.
