Good advice here.

In addition to assisted pullups/chins and pulldowns I've had good success having clients use a jumpstretch band to provide assistance.

Purple works well for most people. Just loop it over the bar and put one end under your knee. It will provide more assistance at the bottom where you need it, but less as you get higher, forcing you to work harder and develop strength in ways that pulldowns and standard assisted pullups don't hit quite as well.
