    IMO, I would try just picking 3 exercises for the back and do 4 sets with each. The shrugs I wouldn't count as a back exercise, but thats just me. Rotate your exercises every 4-6 weeks so you don't get bored and you will stimulate your muscles better. I think personally 12 sets is plenty and works for me.

    Like my back exercise is:

    Lat pull downs(front): 4x10
    Dumbbell rows: 4x10
    Seated cable rows: 4x10


    I go heavy as I possibly can and Im pretty beat afterwards. On my last set if I can only do 8 reps then it is ok as well. Im always trying to push myself to go heavier.
