Why not do both? I sometimes finish off with some push ups on my chest day to get a good pump.

I favour heavy rows or weighted pullups. Apart from the DL these are great for adding mass to the back. Also you gotta EAT for overall mass.

Heavy deadlifts, pullups, rows - exercises where your forearms are flexed for long amounts of time all build grip strength.

I'd go for quality over quantity every time. If you can go heavy on all the exercises and give 100% to all of them then keep doing it. But T-Bar rows, one arm rows and seated rows all essentially hit...

Depends on if you are getting enough sleep and eating enough calories to replenish your glycogen stores in your muscles and liver in the space of 24 hours to have an effective workout the following...

I have a Back/Shoulder day so I hit them on that day.

Of course they are unrealistic role models. Most of us will never look like they do no matter how long we train for. For the others who attain some sort of medicinal aid, they might come close to...

Great advice! Repped.

Same. I hardly do any overhead pressing movements anymore, because I'm trying to bring up my rear delts up to speed with my side and front delts.

The wider grip will recruit the side delts during the movement, where as a closer grip will hit the front delts without hitting the side. It doesn't make much difference tbh.

Pull ups with palms facing you.

I say week off. Because it gives you a break from lifting and you have the spare 2-3 hours a day when you can do something else you enjoy.

I think an impressive squat is one where you use full range of motion to do a PROPER squat. Not enough people do it.

Do you want the short or the long answer? The short answer is No. The long answer is Nooooooooo.

Hit them maximum twice a week and that should be enough. If you are not sore the next day it...

I might add T-Bar rows in there sometimes.

Back has recently become the workout I most look forward to.

My current routine is 4 working sets of:

Deadlift
DB Rows
Pull ups
Cable pullovers
Face pulls
DB Shrugs

Do you guys hold the weight by letting it just hang or do you keep your shoulder blades retracted through the movement?

Doing heavy deadlifts was great. I improved my poundages on every exercise as I got stronger on my DL !

OP: Heavy compound lifts and power lifting along with gaining some weight.

You might be better off using a Trap bar for deadlift.
