Honestly?

Pullups.

I also like Dumbbell rows and Low Rows.

C-ditty

I agree with C-ditty. Just to expand on that, it depends on the plane you intend to use the lats in, and whether or not you have shoulder issues. For those repairing a rotator cuff, a close grip/reverse grip pull-up may be better. It may also reduce rotation to not achieve a full extension between reps (only if you have to). If you are a powerlifter, a variety of these grips and a horizontal plane will help keep the recruitment in the bench plane.

My second choice would be chest supported t-bar rows (narrow grip/bench plane movement) supersetted with kelso shrugs. As C-ditty said, any row is good. For powerlifting , I try to pick movements that correspond to utility.

Personally I like Heavy Dumbell Rows, Reverse Grip Barbell Rows, and Chest supported Rows best.. I rotate these 3 on my ME and DE Bench Days and in 1 Extra workout per week.

Chins on a power rack, the partial L-Shaped grip makes you pul with your lats rather than your arms. Beefs your grip and forwarms too


Reverse grip 70 degree Barbell rows with an EZ bar

Certainly T-Bar Rows.

For me, T-Bar rows have built thickness in the lats, spinal erectors, infraspinatus, rhomboids, and traps.

Of course, I have strong support for the

deads, barbell rows, dumbbell rows, and chins.

Oh I forgot to add that I chose those because they work my lats on the same plane as my bench the most effectively, per Westside Training....

All you need for a great back is chins and barbell rows. Everything else is just fluff.

But sometimes you want a little fluff.


(P.S. Pullovers are maybe the most under-rated exercise)

No deadlifts?
