*Deadlift
Med grip pull-ups
Across bench db pullover
Stiff Arm Pulldowns

*Power Cleans or High Pulls
Chin-ups
Barbell row
Low Pulley Rows

Alternate

XS
Drop all of your weights by 20% and learn how to intensely contract the muscles being used.  Negative only reverse grip chin , medium - close grip , 3 sets max time in fully contracted position.  Alternate these with Medium grip pulldowns every other week.    Follow this with across- bench db pullovers supersetted with straight arm pulldowns, 2 sets 10-12 reps each.  Huge exaggerated deep breath on pullovers and 2 second pauses in max contracted position on SA pulldowns.  Try to pull the bar through your freaking legs on each rep!!!!!  Close your eyes in the contracted position and  SQUEEZEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

You want lat isolation and a disgustingly intense pump and 3 day sore to the touch ache.   Hear it is.

Have fun.

stiff arm pulldowns?
Standing up, grab a pulldown bar, and press it down towards your body without bending your elbows.

Heavy ass deads always do it for me,  heavy shrugs, heavy rows.

its impossible to effectively hit everything on the same day....
ive been doing

one day - hammergrip pullups(as many as i can for 4 sets), lat pulldowns(2-3 sets), then cable rows (3-4 sets), then go back to pullups and finish by doing as many as i can.

another day - deads, barbell rows, then maybe t-bar rows if i still have strength

Made some of my best gains on this routine.

Pull ups   6 sets, till failure.
Barbell rows   6 sets, 6-10 rep range (heavy)

Work hard each set, dont count the warm up sets on the BB rows.  Maybe pump em up at the end with some DB pullovers.
