This is my back routine, low reps, heavy weight. I'm trying to pack on a lot of muscle and mass and just get huge:
1) Wide grip Cable Pulldowns
2) T-bar row
3) Seated Cable rows
Is this good? And how many sets should I have of each excersise also?

Are you on cycle?
My current bulking back routine looks like this
Back
Chins with added weight 3 sets 8-10 reps
Lat pull to neck 2 sets 8-10 reps
Barbell bent-over row 2 sets 6-10 reps
Seated cable row 2 sets 6-10 reps
Deadlift 2 sets 6-10 reps
Every set is performed until muscle failure using the heviest weight possible
Rest time in between sets is about 4-5 minutes
Aim to lift as heavy as possible...that's the purpose of the long resting period.

nah im not on cycle but will be in about a month.
is 3 excersises each bodypart too little ?
Each excersises targets diff parts of your back, using same synergist and stabilizing muscles.Originally Posted by JerzeyBoy
You should find out what are the excersises that work the best for you and form your own routine, but since your goal is to bulk, you MUST include compound movements such as deadlifts,squats, bench presses, presses behind the neck, rows, barbell curls, dips, barbell bent over rows e.t.c to stimulate growth.
Large muscle groups (when bulking) need about 7-8 sets (total), when smaller muscle groups need about 5-7 sets.
Another importand factor is rest..You should train about 3-4 times a week, after a training day, you should take a day off.
Also keep in mind that low heavy rep range (6-10) is ideal when bulking.

Not if you do enough sets for each exercise. To adequately work the entire back, you need 3 movements: a row, a pullup, and a deadlift, or a variation of each. My favorite back workout is 6 heavy sets each of rack pulls, pullups, and bb rows. The reason I like rack pulls better than traditional deads is because they remove most of the lower body from the movement, allowing you to use a lot more weight and keep most of the stress on your back. It's usually a good idea to switch the pin height every few sessions for these, and also to switch between variations of the other 2 exercises to ensure balanced development.Originally Posted by JerzeyBoy
I would add another exercise or two, especially at least heavy deadlifts.
I love the T-bar,try this bro,
Rack pulls from bottom pin=warm up with about 3 sets and go for 5 x 5
T-bar=3-4 sets of 8-10
Lat Pull Downs or wide grip chins=3-4 sets 8-10
Rear flys=3 sets 10-15,If your using a fly machine set the seat high so that when your arms are extended to your sides your hands will be considerably lower than your arm pits,If you use dumbells just set the bench slightly up from flat and use the same ROM.
The rack pulls will hit the deep muscle fibers,be sure you go heavy on the 5x5,if you get 5x5 no prob. go heavier,if you get something like 3 x5 and the last 2 sets 3-4 reps you at the right weight.
this was my go too back routine,it put alot of mass on my back I'm 5'7'' at 210lbs 8-10% bf ,I measure 54'' in the shoulders and 49'' in the chest,so that should give you an idea how good this routine worked for me.
