Think i'm covering everything with this?

Wide-Grip Pulldowns
Deadlifts
Reverse-Grip Pulldowns
T-Bar Rows

covering eveything, you could even drop the wide grip pulldowns...

If you're gonna be doing deadlifts in a back workout, I would put them at the very end. Your strength on deads will suffer very little if you put them at the end, plus you will feel it much more in your lats. However putting them towards the beginning will really cut down your poundages on the vertical pulling and especially rowing movements.

what ive been doing lately



always stay shy of failure


warm up  2-3 sets barbell rows 45 degree angle lower back arched squeeze at the top 10 rep per set

pulldowns 2 warm up sets 10 reps each lower back arched no sway in the movement squeeze lats togetherat bottom of movement and hold for a slight pause, slow on the way up. 3-4 working sets reps 6-10 done in the same manner as warm ups just heavier weight.

deadlifts 3 sets  8-10 reps each keep lower back arched throughout entire movement, squeeze lats together at top of movement, slow on the way down fast on the way up.

cool down same as warm up


(rear delts and shrugs done afterwards)

I always do deadlifts first, I've never noticed a significant drop in any other back movements.

Same. I actually get much more out of my back workout if I deadlift earlier because I get so focused mentally. Always been my fav exercise and i'm pretty strong on it. I typically go 135 for 10, 225 for 8, 315 for 8, 405 for 8, 495 to failure. When i was 12 weeks out i pulled 495 for 10 reps weighin 240lbs. I'm 3 weeks out now and weigh 202lbs but still managed 7 reps with it last week. I usually find the days where I don't deadlift my rows aren't as intense. When I go from deadlifting 500 to rows with 315 then the bar just feels lighter in my hands and im stronger.

i personally will ditch the Reverse -grip pulldown, and add another row ( seated cables, one arm dumbell rows)
