    well im not a personal trainer, but i would suggest doing no less than 2 sets of any given exercise. and since back is a larger muscle group you can work it a little harder.

    try this(until a professional gives other advise)
    2x10 sets warm up what ever exercise your starting with for that given week of weight you can pull for 12-15 reps)
    4x10 WIDE GRIP pulldowns 150lbs
    4x10 ONE-ARM DUMBBELL ROWS 60lbs
    4x10 T-BAR ROWS 2 45 plates
    *4x10 Wide Grip Seated Row Exercise 120lbs (substitute this for your t bar rows from week to week, or even your one arm dumbell rows)
    4x10 DEADLIFTS 210lbs


    i would typically do your deadlifts last since its your lower back muscles.

    i would also alternate what exercises you start with and the order in which you do them every week. but typically start with the mass builders first like wgpd, or t bar rows, or cg rows, etc..



    use the wide grip pull downs to build up your pull up strength for now.

    What I do:

    3 Sets either Lat-Pulldown Wide-Grip or Pullups, again Wide-Grip
    2-3 Sets Narrow-Grip Lat-Pulldowns
    3 Sets Barbell Rows
    2-3 Sets Seated Low-Row with a Narrow Grip

    What I do:

    2x warmup sets of wide pulldowns
    3x sets of chin ups/pull ups
    1x warmup set of deadlifts
    3x heavy deadlifts
    3x t bar rows
    3x barbell rows

    I also do traps on the same day, and if I do deadlifts, then I only do 3 sets of some type of shrug. If I am not doing deadlifts that day, I do 5 sets of shrugs. I do this with high intensity, and it takes me around 50 minutes.
