Weak back pumps?!?

[Fordfan01]

I dont know if this is normal or not but whenever i workout my back, i dont get a good pump like i do when i work biceps, triceps, legs and chest. Any suggestions?

all heavy sets
Lat Pulldowns 3 sets of 8
db rows 3 sets of 8
wide grip pullups 3 sets of 10

i dont really get pumps either, but the next day, my lats will be sore, so i know im getting it. maybe back muscles dont feel the same cause theyre bigger???

yea i fell it the next day but its just disappointing leaving the gym with my bi's pumped so hard and i dont hardly feel anything in my back

Try incorporating cable rows and deadlifts into your back routine.

Try lowering the weight and focusing on reps. For a while, I was trying to go heavy on all my back sets because I heard that it was better for adding mass, width, etc. Problem is, when I was doing that I was struggling so much to move heavy weight that I didnt isolate my back. Now, I use lighter weight and focus on muscle contraction and extension through the entire exercise, and since I have started doing that about a year ago, my back is now my strongest aspect.

thanks ecto yea i do all heavy reps so i might try the lowering the weights

Wide grip everything! well not really, but def for pull downs. On cable rows, I take off the handle and put two seperate handles that would be for like cable crossovers, it helps as you can pull them apart as opposed to a metal handle.

yea i always do wide grips with pull downs and pull ups

the only time i get a pump is when very heavy lawnmower dumbbell pulls or pullups
