What do you guys go for? I mean Do you do one handed rows or barbell?

Lat pull downs or chin ups...what in your opinion are the best back excercises...and whats is your least favourite 1s

Firstly and foremost the best overall beck exercise is deadlifts.
I usually follow this bar either barbell rows or t bar rows.
Then one arm dumbells- very heavy.
usually finish with either seated cable row or pulldowns behind kneck.

Agree with all of the above apart from Pulldowns Behind The Neck - they place too much strain on C3/4/5 and pulls my shoulders out of place too much for my liking.

Deadlifts
Rows
Chins / Pulldowns

Sorted:lift:

I tend to not do deads as it murders my lower back....

Lol do you also mainly train arms cos training legs is too much like hard work :love:

If I do deadlifts, then my lower back makes it unable for me to walk. I seem to get this when I'm heavier. Same with squats. And also sometime even just walking on the treadmill.
So I avoid deads and use the leg press for legs.
Tall, that is called Polish training where I'm from, chest, arms, chest, arms, chest, arms.....

Deads, BB rows and chins for me.
I usually train traps as well so throw in 3 sets of BB shrugs.
