I do pull ups all the time, never deadlift. Deadlifted yesterday randomly with light weight, upper back sore today. So probably deadlifts tbh. I don't think pull ups hit upper back.

Deadlift, but if that isn’t upper back focused enough, then chin ups, for the added biceps work it gives.

T-Bar Row.


But when it comes to back I'd never pick one exercise. I like having at least three movement.

-Lateral pulling. Pullups, chinups, lat pd, etc.
-Horizontal pulling. Row variants.
-Hip hinge. Deadlift, Romanian Deadlift. Rack Pull. Etc.

Bent over DB row.

I like DBs more than the BB. Try both.
