Bench rows. Saves my lower back from going to snap city.

Have been enjoying lat pull-down recently as well.

My back days usually looks something like the following:

Barbell Row variation (Standing, T-Bar, Chest-Supported, etc) 3-5 sets
DB Row (optional, depending on how many sets I did above - usually done chest supported lately) 3 sets

Pulldowns (wide-grip or medium-neutral grip) 3-5 sets
Cable Pullovers 3 sets

Back Raise 3 sets

Pull ups, kettlebell swings & snatches, kettlebell rows, renegade rows work best for me. For the life of me I could never get the hang of barbell rows of any type.

Dude I could never get Pendlay Rows. It feels like I am just making an explosive jerking motion, not really contracting my lats or anything.

Chin-ups and pull-ups are GOAT for functional movement, especially if you do them between sets of rows to help decompress the spine hnnngh

Barbell Rows - slow and controlled while squeezing shoulder blades together at the top of the movement
Superset with chin-ups

fuking hnnnngh

and don't forget face pulls (watch AthleanX videos for proper form since 90% of people in the gym do facepulls incorrectly and hit entirely different muscles)

Lat-Pulldown every back day

Chest Supported Rows (dumbbell or barbell) are awesome as well

I bought myself some climbing rope.

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=climbing+...f=nb_sb_noss_1

I am really ridiculous at pull ups. I can stop pulling up at any point, think about life for a bit and then continue pulling up to chest. Then I lower myself down to midway or wherever, stop. Wonder about stuff and continue lowering myself down. I can hold a dead hang for a minute easy. Never really tried for longer. I can FULL front lever. Form isn't great, still working on perfecting it, but....yes I can FULL front lever.

I seriously believed I was going to be able to climb up the rope in a L-straddle using only upper body strength, no legs first day. That was a HHHHHUUUUUUGGGGGEEEE NOPE!

The grip is different from hanging on a bar. You need way more finger strength. I've only done my rope climbing routine twice, but my fingers feel "fat". Which is good, I want this strength. It's next level stuff.

No idea how good of a back "exercise" climbing a rope is, but I am going to be able to climb a fukcing rope using only upper body strength. I will make it look easy. Hopefully before 2024.
