How much is TOO MUCH for back?

[gabrieltg711]

Would doing deadlifts, lat pulldowns, pull-ups, t bar rows, cable rows, and lat pullovers too much? I include biceps on back day and no traps/rear delts (push day). Measly reps!

I think thats a little too much... but hey! i only do 3 moves for back so im noone to say, but i think if you cut the volume and focus on making gains on the most important movements, your back will look GREAT

i wold keep Pull ups, Tbar rows.. Deads and... uhh... cable rows?

[FeelTheFear]

theres no point in doing that many exercises. Just do 1 deadlift, 1 vertical pull, 1 horizontal pull, and then do it twice a week

It's not too much, I even think It's too low volume, but hey everyone is diffrent and react diffrent for me high volume makes it.
But keep in mind there is no such thing as overtraining.

5 exercises should be the maximum for back tbqh.

Here's my selection (although if you are doing pure bodybuilding, I would swap out the Deadlifts for TBAR/DB Row)

#1. Deadlifts
#2. Weighted Chins
#3. Barbell Row
#4. Lat Pulldown
#5. Cable Row

Feels amazing, covers everything, and gives good results. IMO, you don't need 2 vertical pulls like I have, I just compete am looking to compete in physique and really need to over-emphasize the vertical pulls right now because I used to only row / do no verticals lmao.

Also keep in mind it is highly contingent on how many WORKING SETS you do per exercise. If you do 3-4 working sets to failure/1 rep short of failure per exercise, forget it.

it should match the amount of flat and overhead presses you do

i personally like a lot of volume for back. I think It is fine. However I do super set so then it is mainly 3-4 sets of back excercises

I dont do Pull overs though

exactly my workout, without the lat pullovers, in my opinion change the t-bar rows to one arm db rows (thats what i do) feel a much better burn in lats, otherwise looks good OP

[AlexRowell]

Weighted chin-ups and underhand grip barbell rows are my favourite back exercises and is basically all I am doing atm and its working. However, your volume seems fine.

That doesn't seem too bad at all. Your back can handle a lot.

2 vertical pulls
2 horizontal pulls
shrug/deadlift variant

These exercises should be the main things for building a shield as back

Underhand hits the biceps more?

^ And the lower lats.
