Can I achieve pull up? So far assisted pull up I need 50kg assist?

I'm 75 kg and when I try assisted pull up, I need at least a 50kg assist

I'm going to the gym most days for almost 2 years. I had a setback in May, I broke my collar bone. Before that I could bench 60kg
Now I can just about manage to bench 40 kg

My ambition is to do pull ups but I can only lift my 75 kg weight when I have 50kg assist

So is it just too much to ask at my age?

It could be asking too much. Hard to say. Best advice I can give is to make sure you're glycogen is high enough, make sure your calories & protein intake is high enough, that you're eating something before your workouts (ideally starch based carbs), & that you're progressively overloading the muscles while still allowing them to rest well enough to repair & grow.

It's not too much to ask. But you definitely have your work cut out for you

My mother weighs 150 pounds and I can lift her half an inch off the ground.
