    Unhappy Back strength problem

    Hello!I started going to the gym 2 months ago and since i first started i doubled the weight that i can lift during chest,shoulder and arms day,like literally doubled.For example in my first week of gym i could barely lift the empty 20 kg bar,now i can lift 55 kg for 10 reps during chest day.

    My problem is,the only muscles that didnt seem to get any stronger are the ones on my back.During my back workout i mostly do different kinds lat pulldowns and different kinds of rows.I am simply stuck at the same weights for the last 5 weeks and i dont seem to be able to get any stronger.

    Am i doing something wrong or do the back muscles simply take longer to develop?

    The first question that pops into my mind is what kind of routine are you doing and what is your overall diet like?

    If you are only 2 months into lifting you would do best to use a proven beginner routine like Fierce 5 or Allpro. Most beginner routines will have you focusing on a few compound lifts and trying to get those numbers up, because, as a beginner, you don't need to be doing a million different kinds of exercises, and it's arguable that you would do better on a full body routine instead of a split like you're describing.

    ...i mostly do different kinds lat pulldowns and different kinds of rows...
    You may be doing too much. Granted, you didn't post a routine so I can't say with certainty, but a less is more approach may be called for here. Also, are you hitting all your macros and getting enough rest?
