Developing a chiseled back

[hekki]

I alternate but start with:

bent over wide grip row either 5 sets of 12 low weight or 3 sets of 6-8
t-bar row with a landmine unit same series of sets as above
Lateral pulldown
Close-grip Chin-up
Seated row on cable machine ( I really like this exercise but the cable machine I work on only goes to 220 lbs and it is to easy to go above 12 reps.)

I always superset my back with a chest routine as well. I do 3 day splits.

How on earth can you train chest and back in the same workout? that would be impossible for me and I think your not training them correctly.

I would strip your routine down to basic training and implement one major and one minor body part each workout and not to majors. Also try a different style of training if the one your doing isn't working time to change.

With what like:

Chest and biceps
Back and triceps and shoulders
Legs

Maybe I should do a different split. What works for you?

Like Marcus said, your doing two major muscle groups on the same day. You won't be able to work either to proper failure, because it's to much to do in one day. That's more of a beginner workout.
Back bi
legs
shoulder tri
chest
That's not specific, but you were not understanding. You can't work shoulders on same day as back either.
When doing back pull with your back first, then arms, on the negative it's arms first motion then extend back all the way out. I do pull ups and all back utilizing back first. One of the biggest mistakes in the gym, pulling with arms first in place of back. Get your back on that way and it will be totally taxed, you won't have strength for chest.
As Marcus states arch at the contraction and make sure your head is in neutral position and not down.
