lol, if he's talking about bodyweight pullups, there's nothing wrong with doing them a few days a week on top of the power routine. He's been doing this routine for months now, and it's lower eschelon volume with all the pyramided sets. The question becomes, why would you bother??
I agree that noone should fuck with a set program hands down. I guess it all depends on what he is referring to for pullups. Even when I was weight training in the military (way back in the day), we still had P.T. in the morning which included a 3 K run (usually) and tons of pullups both before and after. My buddies and I still went to the gym in the p.m. and busted out some killer workouts. Never overtrained. Or what about brick layers curling bricks all day, then going to the gym at night doing an arms workout? Or OLY trainees working out the same exercises up to 14 times a week? Just throwing out examples..It could be 18 times, could be 12 times.
So in my experience, shit, even right NOW with what I'm currently doing with my modified westside split, I can go outside three days a week and do a few sets of pullups and not think twice about it. Weighted is another story.
Nowadays, you look on other forums discussing 5 day splits and see how they demonize anything more than ONCE A WEEK!
I'm sure everyone sees that. Now THAT is what I'm referring to. But, like I said, if he pays attention to the signs of when he starts to overreach, then by all means, dump the pullups.

The more is always better mentality. It is the bodybuilder's mentality to worry about his lats and so "add" to an established program to bring them up.

I also agree with this! 100% accurate.
