best pulling workouts for upper back strength

[SamTal]

I’m looking to boost my upper back strength. I used to be part of my rowing team years ago and I built a strong upper body but its been years. Recently I tried kayaking and it was very tough, my back is very weak now. How can I improve it with weight training? Would you recommend I do things like pulldowns and laying pulls? Or would deadlifts be better?

Bros. you should try adjusting grip. try different grips on each set

I like to strap some weight to me. That makes it more challenging.

pullups are the best. i also enjoy monkey bars

Rows are the best. Especially heavy rows.

It's very important to make sure you're careful, especially if you're doing anything overhead. You don't want to end up hurting yourself.

It's very nice job on this. A lot of good suggestions above.

For me, I really enjoy doing pull-ups. And just changing up the type of grip.
