15 years old 3 months back progress

[artofbrian]

This is after 3 months of proper back training. In the past when I trained back, all I did was to go through the motion and instead of hitting my back, I used my rear delts but everything changed after I started to pull with my elbows which really helped me to activate my back and that is when I started to see growth. Here's my current back routine:
4 sets - Dumbbell Pullover superset straight arm pulldown. 4 sets - T-bar row
4 sets - High cable row
4 sets - Wide grip seated row
4 sets - Standing T-bar row
4 sets - Barbell row
4 sets - Dumbbell bent over row
4 sets - Seated close grip row
4 sets - Reverse grip pulldown
4 sets - Close grip pulldown
4 sets - Wide grip pulldown
I aim for 12 - 15 reps each set with no more than a minute of rest in between sets. Constructive feedback is appreciated. (:

That's way to many sets stick to about 4 different exercises. Rep ranges are probably better off 10-12 for back. As far as how your back looks I mean from your avi its easy to see that your a small framed guy and you are lacking mass and thickness.

If I stick to only 4 different exercises, how many sets would be sufficient ? And which exercises would you recommend ?

I would recommend deadlifts, barbell rows, db rows and pullups

Switch it up every couple weeks, maybe for 2 weeks do DB Rows, Yates Barbell Rows, Seated Rows, and Deadlifts. Then the next week do Weighted Pull Ups, T bar Rows, DB Rows and Deadlifts. I'd say 15 sets is good.

Make sure you go heavy on at least one pull down exercise and one rowing exercise also
