    your back workout looks alot like mine. I do them last on back day. I am usually so dead after doing them and thats why they are the last exercise for me.

    Deads should be done 1st in your back workout so you can put maximum energy into your lift. If youre going to slack on one back exercise, deads aren't the one.

    Deads, a row, and pulldowns/pullups will be more than enough for a back workout IMO. Just give it a shot. You're not going to know unless you try.

    i disagree. Your back has a large number of muscle groups and therefore needs more sets/exercises than say, your chest or arms.

    You've got
    lats
    traps
    erectors
    teres major
    rhomboids

    that's 5 different muscles. if you're only doing three exercises, that's fewer exercises than muscles you're working.

    I do deads, bent over rows, wide grip pulldowns, and then upright rows superseted with dumbell shrugs.

    As far as needing more exercises to work all the muscles in your back...Deads work all those muscles and then some (ie legs/forearms/bis). If you go balls to the wall on deads, you should have a hell of a back workout. BTW, I do shrugs on back day too, so our workouts are pretty much exactly the same. We just have a different perspective on why we do what we do.

    lots of people do traps with their shoulder workouts... they can do upright rows to stimulate both the delts and the traps, and then move on to shrugs.

    you're going to hit your rear and medial delts on back day anyway if you do any rowing motions. I don't even have a shoulder workout... i just throw lateral raises in my chest workout.

    I do my deadlifts once every two weeks and alternate between an extensive back routine one week, and solely deadlifts, rack pulls and some stiff leg deads during the other week. For me, I get better pulls and I'm not drained for my other back exercises and can put more intensity into them.
