barbell rows.over had 5 x 6
lat pull wide 3 x failure
lowcable rows 3 x 6 to 10
underhand pulldowns 3 x 8 to 12
rack deads 4 x 4 to 6

what do you think....either this or swap rack deads for conventional going 12, 8,8,6,6,4 then back to 5x5 and a max single next week.

Not too bad but you don't need two pulldown exercise

He's hitting two different muscle spots, why not do it?

Cause he has low rows, he doesn't need to do underhand pulldowns; it hits the same

i personally would through deads in the begging of the workout. (conventional or rack)

**Columbus** · 11-22-2006, 08:31 AM

I usually do conventional deads first...but rack deads last.......so I can go heavier on rows and still heavy but not obscene on racks....

Question:

Iif my split landed so I had hamstrings including straight leg deadlifts on Thursday, would I still be ok training back and doing rack deads on Friday? Doesnt usually happen this way, but with the holiday....

O.K. Whatever

**Columbus** · 11-24-2006, 07:37 AM

No whatever, I thank you for your help bro.....it's just a diff feel for me....

I am gonna stick to this routine for the time being and really focus on barbell rows as I believe they are helping my back mass more than conventional deads...then I will do str8 legs for back and hammys on Sunday........

It's cool man, just doesn't make much sense to me. You wouldn't do straight bar curls and cambered bar curls in the same workout would you, and they have different feels?

Bottom line is do what works best for you bro.
