Lifters should be able to do pull-ups with as much weight –
including bodyweight – as they can bench press, meaning that a 200-pound guy
that bench presses 300 pounds should be able to do a pull-up with 100 pounds
added.
A 1:1 ratio of pull-ups to bench presses should be the
minimum. Let's assume that most males can do at least 7-8 bodyweight pull-ups,
with whatever grip that's preferred. If you can't, and have been training for
more than a few years, take this as a wake-up call that you seriously need to
reconsider your training, nutrition, or both.
