    I do lots of wide pulldowns, lots of close-grip rows, and lots of heavy dumbell bent-over rows - among other things of course. I start off my workouts heavy (8-10 reps), then start doing smooth sets of 15-25 with perfect form. I get more compliments on my back than anything else

    I wont go into weights but I train very high intensity, heavy and strict with little breaks.

    Wide grip pulls - 5 sets
    Deads - 5 sets
    Bent over barbell rows - 3 sets
    T-bar - 4 sets
    Seated cable OR DB rows superset cable pull downs (whatever they are called) - 3 sets each

    That is a normal back day for me.

    when putting together your back workout the first thought should be deadlifts IMO
