Over head bands is called ,, lighten method.That does not change the fact that a person's ability to do pullups is limited by their strength to weight ratio - it simply provides a way to lessen the impact of the limitation and/or still get some benefit from the exercise. Following your [il]logic, I could claim that I can bench press 800lbs - if I use bungi cords attached to ceiling hooks to support enough of the weight.
We do that to work the lock out of the bench at the top. Bar gets heavier as the bands lose tension.
800 ? not unless you are some one like Big Mendi - Scott Mendelson (1200lb bench) or Jimmy Kolb (1320lb bench)
