Adding weighted chins/pull ups to a routine - When is it really time?

So I've been following Greyskull's routine for a few weeks and noticed that neutral-grip chins have gotten pretty easy. I can do 3-4 sets of 8 with ease while supersetting them with bench/OHP.
Yesterday I decided to add weight and attached 10 pounds to a weight belt. You should seen how much of a moron I was trying to figure out how to attach the damn thing.
Anyways, I knocked out 5 and felt great. Did two more sets (3x5). Felt the pump in my arms and back.
I'm absolutely destroyed today. Like I'm fairly close to injury-status and am worried that deadlifts tomorrow might get skipped.
What's confusing me is that I weigh about 165 pounds. I've done plenty of chin ups and pull ups at 175 pounds in the past, and the extra ten pounds didn't cause this much soreness. Why would adding ten pounds in the form of a barbell hurt so bad?
Form was good I think. No different than usual.
Should I drop back down to bodyweight pull ups until I can get to 12 with ease?

Probably has something to do with center of mass
That 10 lbs adds more effort than you anticipated as you've just recently learned

No but stay at 10 for like two weeks.

When you are doing a low amount of weight just grab a dumbbell with your feet.

This sounds much safer than the belt. I was terrified the weight was going to swing and nail me in the balls.

I love my weighted pulls brotha. Nothing sexier than hanging 75+ pounds and getting as many reps as possible

By far my favorite back and maybe all around workout. Started with 10's for 8-10 reps. Now I'll do 15 reps no weight, 2 sets of 10 @25lb, 2 sets of 5-8 @45lbs, and then back down again. I've gone up to heavier weights like the guy above me, but it's not in my typical routine.

I’m dealing with shoulder bursitis rn. Only two things hurt: handstand and deadhang. So on the hurt side I’m supinating my grip until it heals.
My max for dead hang one rep is over 90+ but there are guys I know that are in the 160+ club.

That's almost adding an entire extra body on top of me lol I've never seen somebody go over 90.

Not sure, but I think this is what I'm dealing with right now as well. Not much pulling hurts, it's more inclined pressing motions for me.
I did some workouts with a freak a few months ago and he pushed me and I got 2 with 90lbs two weeks in a row. Started a higher rep routine and haven't tried since. Got a back workout tomorrow and make take a crack at it.

Yeah military presses don’t bother me, but the full extension of dead hang and handstand does. I was worried it was a torn rotator cuff but apparently not. 7 to 9 weeks of resting it.

I'd recommend picking a rep #. Then, just try to progress 5 pounds at a time in that rep #.
