what does your back day look like?

[Zander1983]

Snatch-grip power pull - 5 reps x 2 sets
Clean-grip power pull - 5 x 2
Barbell bent-over row - 5 x 2
Dumbbell bent-over row - 5 x 2
Rack deadlifts - 5 x 4
Wide-grip pull-ups - 5 x 2
Close-grip chin-ups - 5 x 2

Nothing to failure.

Here are a couple of routines:

Workout#1
Back Width: Seated Pulley Rows - 1 x 10-13
Back Thickness: Barbell Rows - 1 x 10-13

Workout#2
Back Width: Reverse Grip Pull-Downs - 1 x 10-13
Back Thickness: Deadlifts (partial or floor) - 1 x 4-8

Wokout#3
Back Width: Wide Grip Pull-Downs - 1 x 10-13
Back Thickness: T-Bar Rows - 1 x 4-8

This is after training for several years .
Low volume and freakish intensity

wide lat pulldowns

db row
wide t-bar row

close grip t-bar row
weighted chins

[Debaser]

Solid.

Too much

Okay I'm just fucking around, but really, 8 sets of pullups/pulldowns? Why the variety, they're all the same thing. Same for the row variation. Deads are far more effective for traps, and overall back thickness as well. In other words, all you need is:

1-2 sets of deads + 1-2 sets of pullup/pulldown + 1-2 sets of rows. You just annihilated your entire back while allowing ample recovery.
