Takes a hell of a lot more than some pull ups to 'over train'. Most people don't even train hard enough to come remotely close to burning out like that. As long as your not chronically under-eating and missing out on sleep... it will never happen.

You do, but you need to realize he is spreading his volume out over a longer time period. I work a desk job and do push-ups and pull ups variously throughout the day at the office. The more often you stimulate a muscle to grow, the more it adapts (gets bigger).
