I here you with the no burn until recently. IMO the two best exercises would be wide grip chins with a weight and seated rows or one arm rows. Do a light set of 20 to warm up and then do 4 heavy sets ranging between 6-8 reps and then finish with a set of atleast 20 if you can do more you do more, this last set is the most important, go until you have absolutely nothing left. I also do wide grip pronated rows and neutral wide grip pulldowns. Deadlifts I do on a seperate day, nasty exercise that one need lots of energy.
You are the master of your body, take control and sculpt it.
