Hello, I have been stuck on level 4 for a while because I want to hit the max reps for pull-ups and dips. I'm not sure how to go about increasing my reps. I currently can do 2 pull-ups for 4 sets, and 4-5 dips for 4 sets. I'd like to be able to get to 4x4 pull-ups and 4x10 dips. if someone can tell me how I can increase my reps it would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Pacience and effort is the short answer. Just keep working hard at them and soon you'll be able to do 10 pull-ups and dips. Determination. Go Beast Mode! Good luck!

Thanks! I saw the video of you busting out wide grip pull-ups with ease, I hope to get there one day! Should I just continue repeating as much reps as I can or get as high as I can and do negatives to reach the max reps? Thanks for the reply and assistance!

I would recommend doing max sets and reps. If you can't, do as many as you can(till failure) and then finish the workout(sets) with negatives. Good luck!

Good answer by Daniel!
I can only recommend this too, try as much as you can with normal form following by negative ones to reach the maximum reps.

also i can recommend you moving to level 5, variation can be the key, your muscles have to adapt to a new exercise. this can help you to. i personally benefits the most from different type of exercises, because they all focus on a different specific part on a muscle group (example whide grip, close grip, decline, incline and so on)

Thank you very much for your input! It means a lot! Yeah, I probably should at least try and do level 5 for variation. Thanks for the help everyone!
