Use straps.
Try parallel handles of various widths.
When you chin or do pulldowns, don't go to complete extension (keep SLIGHT bend in arms-this keeps tension on the lats)
Also, keep your palms high on the bar-don't grip the bar with your fingers.
When you row, pull to your waist. This maximizes the movement at the shoulder joint while minimizing elbow joint movement.
