Too little for back?

[witkowsd]

I am trying not to duplicate my exercises - do you think this is too litle for back and what would you do for the 5 x 5 - (I just started 5 x 5 on londay):

Bent over rows
pull ups
shrugs

There's a great post here on why women should do deadlifts. I don't know about the 5 x 5 routine, but I'd consider trying deads.

I was doing deads with legs. Should I change them to back?

You have it right...

2 working sets of pull ups or pulldowns, 2 sets of rows, 2-3 sets of shrugs and 2 sets of SLDL. The regular dead is good too but don't do both SLDL and regualr deads at the same time.

It doesn't take a lot of vareity or volume to build muscles if you are training hard in cycles and progressively with the weight used.
