doin deads and pullups?
Im getting some PMs asking about how I train back, this is how it goes:
I do the regular back routine (as far as exercises goes), a once a week training of 3 or 4 exercises, depending on how many heavy sets I plan to do, reps ranging from 12 to 6 per set. I change the exercises each 4 to 7 weeks.
Something that I feel really gave me some edge and shaked things a bit is doing barbell rows the dorian way (less inclined, you can check him teaching how to do it at

Another detail that makes the difference in back training is holding/concentrating the movement for 0.5-1 sec when your lats are fully contracted. You are going to need a spotter for this when doing the heaby sets but its totally worth it.
Push ups... I only do push ups if I am traveling and cant get to a gym, feel a lot of chest and tris doing them, If I change angles I can feel the back too.
About dead lifts, actually I never did this exercise. I have a small stretching problem in my hamstrings since I was a kid that I have to fix before trying them, but its definetly an exercise that I will do hard in the future.
