Too Much Volume For Back?

[shibs]

Is this too much volume for a back workout?

Deadlift 5X5
Weighted Pull Ups 4X8
Bent Over DB Row 3X8
DB Elbows Out Chest Supported Row 3X10

I tried to skim it down a bit. Is this ok?

This was my original W/O

Deadlift 5X5
Weighted Pulls Ups 4X5
Body Weight Pull Ups 1Xfailure
Bent Over BB Rows 5X6-8

Personally I think bot hare fine but actually the second one looks like a little too much volume, a bodyweight set of pullups then 5 set of barbell rows is a little much. The first one looks good except I would maybe put in barbell rows instead of chest supported db rows, or maybe just choose between db and barbell rows.

Not flaming but I don't understand how anybody does back regularly without doing bb rows.
Don't be too strict on one routine, this is the last back workout I did and I made it up as I went along
-Lat pull down
2 sets med/light= warm up
-pull ups
4 sets of 8
-bent over rows
6 sets of 6
2 more sets lighter weight to failure

Thats your entire workout for your back?

I've always like DB rows better, i gave BB rows a chance but didn't like them. Plus it is proven that DB rows better hit your back more so than BB rows. Check it out yourself.

Agree, I always change my routine from workout to workout, for ALL bodyparts....that's me, but if a guy is doing the same routine over and over and it's working, then more power to him (no pun intended)

Good point but if they're done RIGHT....you guys know very few people have a clue as to how to do DB rows.....starting a lawn mower ring a bell?

My current back routine is pretty simple. I'm actually doing the intermediate/linear 5x5.

BB rows from the floor on Monday for 5 sets and 3 sets of body weight hypers. Deads on Wednesday for 5 sets. Rows from the floor again on Friday 3 sets of 5, a heavy triple, then a set of 8 followed by 3-4 sets of pull/chin ups. The heavy triple on Friday is used for the top set of 5 on the next Monday.

I like the high frequency and I add weight to the bar every workout. My back is growing even though this is a "strength" routine. Surprisingly soreness is a non issue with me.

If I was hitting back once a week with a BBing focus I'd probably do something like this....

Chins/Pull ups 4 sets
Heavy Rows DB/BB/Tbar 4-5 sets
Deads/Rack Pulls 4-6 sets
High rep lat pull down/cable rows 3 sets as a finisher
