That depends on your relative strength in terms of your bodyweight. For a lot of people doing pullups in addition to what they are already doing on 5x5 would be a lot like doing extra sets of heavy pulldowns in addtion to the rows they are already doing. Not advisable. Even if such things as pullups or pushups constitutes "endurance work" adding a bunch of them to the program would only make unecessary inroads into recovery. This is a three times a week full-body program. It doesn't need anything added to it.

Pullups can be incororated into it if you so choose but it needs to be instead of, not in addition to something. Doing pullups 5 days a week on this serves no useful purpose except to take away from what you do on the program, unbalance the volume and frequency, and in general fuck the whole thing up.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
