Man....It's hard to tell...

Try 10 pounds and see how it works..

If you are off the 10, then put on 20.....

And so on.... You will probably loose 1-2 sets...nothing more....Even though they will still be hard work.

Go to the gym and throw on some weight and see how many reps you get. Adjust accordingly.

221lbs + your bodyweight would be impressive OP. So, bout...

[mrmrbill]

11 lbs


or maybe 23 lbs


17 lbs perhaps


44 would be worth a try


62 if you can do more


or 39 if not


draw the line at 58


unless 83 can be achieved


though 14.5 could work, too

I would draw the line at 37.5 though for better form imo.

This is something you can find out by experimenting. Since you're able to do 18 wide-grip pullups, try adding 5lbs and seeing how many you can do. Is it more than 10? Add another 5lbs. etc.

If you do this all at once you'll have to keep in mind that you're probably going to underestimate the weight since you'll be tired from the previous reps, but that's okay, because if you start there next time and do much better, you can just add more.
