I had a beginner ask me in the gym tonight what he should do for back. I told him chins, deads, and a rowing movement (preferably T-Bars). These should be the basics to overall back development. I wouldn't go through a back workout without doing these 3 or a variation thereof. What are your guys' mainstays on back day? Remember, this guy is new so I had him stick to basic, compound movements.

Lat pull downs are a good replacement for chins...especially for a beginner. Sounds like a good routine to start out with though.

Sounds good. This is what I would suggest.

Chins/Pulldowns
2-3 sets of 5-6 reps

Barbell Rows
2-3 sets of 6-10 reps

Deadlifts
2-3 sets of 5-8 reps

Just my opinion.

Sounds good to me but if you don't have access to a t-bar i'd go with bent over rows.

Id give him,

Chins
Power Upright Rows

He should also be working his whole upper body in the same Day.

Add in.
Military Presses
Dips

Ans he has a great powerfull upper body workout.

Id put the rest for his lower body workout,
Squats
Deadlifts
Calfs

Sorry for prolonging this short answer.
