I was just wondering what ppl think are the best back exercises to have in your routine.
Right now my back routine is--->

5 sets 6-8 reps bent-over barbell rows
4 sets 6-8reps T-Bar Rows using the olympic bar in corner
Wide Grip Pull Ups 4 sets 6-10 reps (body weight)
3 sets 6-8 reps Lat Pull downs
Iso Lateral Row 3 sets and dead lift

what do u guys say?
 
Best back exercises:

Rack pulls
Pendlay Rows
Weighted Chins
Power Shrugs

Bam. Thick, wide back and enormous traps.

Jesus Christ that is a lot of back work. 19 sets? How is your back? I would love to see it with all that work.
 
i really enjoy the Hammer strenght row and pulldown units.....if you have access, give them a try.

I think we all know that to do that many sets, you'd have to be moving around pissant weights. No one can lift heavy and still maintain that kind of volume.

Drop the volume down a ton and lift heavy. Only deadlift once a week unless you are either still fairly weak in the deadlift (i.e. using loads that are less than twice your bodyweight) or unless you absolutely despise your lower back and want to destroy it.
 
shrugs.

all the bros in my gym do these, and nothing but these, for hours, so they must be the best exercise.
 
Deads
Pullups
BB Rows
Real T-Bar Rows
Hammer Machines
In that order (of importance)

I personally like power cleans alot.
 
Pullups or lat pulldowns for width
For thickness: corner rows, T bar rows, or barbell rows
For overall size: Deads
Traps: Deads and shrugs
