Get a dip belt so you can hang weight. When I weighted 240lbs I could do sets of 12 with 80 lbs. (Wide grip)
Pullups with weight built my back.

Another thing that works to add weight if you don't have access to a dip belt is to do your pullups from the crossbar of your cable cross after looping the cable around your waist (it digs in a little, but no biggie).
I can't remember what my best numbers are with weighted pullups. My backs always been one of my strongest points though.

I could do pullups all day long in high school -- when I weighed 150 lbs........
I'm at almost 195 lbs. now, and haven't done them for a LONG time. When I do them now, or go really heavy on the lat pulldowns, I get some incredible pain in my right shoulder. It comes from deep inside -- like it might be the rotator cuff. I love to go with the wide grip -- great pump in the lats, but the pain is something awful.
I've never injured that shoulder in any way. Is there something I can change in my form to make that excercise part of my routine again?? Today starts the second week of test and d-bol for me, so I'd love to get the pullups going again without tearing up that shoulder......

When I was around 200 lbs I use to be able to do about 25 pull-ups with the complete stretch at the bottom, but now weighing in at 260 lbs I can get about 10 on my first set followed by no more than 6 after that.

I'm light and skinny, but I can do pull-ups like a cyborg. 40 strict, 50-ish if I don't pause at the bottom. When I weighed 167 I could get 1 legitimate one handed pull-up with each arm. One was all I ever got, and at that time I could get 50 strict two handed.
Well, that and a buck gets me a coke, eh?

I just started a new routine that has me doing all of the basic excercises that are necessary for strength and growth. I havent been doing any of them and I realize now how important they are. One of them is wide grip chins along with barbell lift and cleans , goodmornings and other such strength and endurance builders.

Impressive was Art Zeller. Art was a bodybuilder/powerlifter from the heyday of Muscle Beach... and went on to be one of the world's most famous bodybuilder photographers. He died 3 1/2 years ago.
Art could do sets of pullups with 200lbs on a weight belt.
He could also do dips with 300lbs.
He wasn't huge. He was just strong. He lifted in the era when bodybuilders took pride in their strength.
