Being too heavy
IMO a bodybuilder should never be too heavy to do at least 8-10 good pullups, as long as they are somewhat fit and not carrying too much body fat. When I was in good shape before my heart attack I weighed a lean 235 and could do 10-12 pullups with 65 lbs strapped to me.
I used to do pullups first and then later on do some narrow grip pulldowns once I was fatigued, at the very end of the workout.
