I don't train pullups anymore (have switched to weighted chins instead). My all time best was when I was 20, and I managed 33 in one set. I definitely was not going all the way down and I weighed in somewhere around 170 pounds at the time. Before I switched over to chins, my all time max was 135x3.
I would train pull ups 3 to 4x a week, and my back did blow up from it.
@Investment Bro, I'm just curious as to why you don't do them anymore? I know, it's hard to fit everything in but I can't see me ever taking wide grip pullups out of my routine, they are so effective. With pullups and Bent Over Rows, I feel like my back is sorted.
Are chins, the close-grip, biceps-intensive version of pullups? I've started throwing a few sets of those in too instead of arm curls cos they feel so good.
