Think about what you want in life. Then ask yourself what you're doing to achieve it.

For mass, try bent over BB rows TO THE WAIST. Deadlifts are good too. Pulldowns are good for width, but not a "mass" exercise per se.Originally Posted by Toxic04

Deadlifts - Strength
Bent-Over Rows - Hypertrophy
T-Bar Rows - Hypertrophy
Seated Cable Rows - Hypertrophy
Wide-Grip Pull-ups - Strength
Lat Pulldowns are a pretty good exercise, but I prefer the ones above over it.

Lat pulldowns are great. They are one of my fav excercises. They may not build mass, but they mainly target your upper lats whereas rows tend to work your mid and lower back more. And if you can do widegrip pullups, they're better, but you can still do lat pulldowns to further exhaust your muscles when you can't do pullups anymore.
I basically do everything that Peaked listed except for T-Bar rows.

yup, that's my routine right now, except take out the bent over rows and you've got mine...I think doing T bars and barbell row in the same session is kinda like almost doing the same thing twice. Given me great gains...and yea, no matter what people say, I still do my cable rows and I friggin love em to finish off my back routine. But a lot of people won't touch em. It really just depends on you...try some of the suggestions on here and go for it. Your routines can always be tweaked on a pretty consistent basis, I always try and do thatOriginally Posted by PeakedThe complete shoulder and RC injury thread, written by myself:
