Depends on your goals/ training experience.. But BBrows superseted with pullups are crazy for back width.They also hit bis a lot.

I love doing back and can't wait for tomorrow

Pull ups until failure x 2 sets
Weighted Pull ups until failure x 2 sets
Bent over barbell rows x 4 sets
Deadlifts x sets
Either lat pulldown or seated row x 4 sets
Good mornings x 4 sets

I feel it good for a couple days after that.

Mine is:
Deadliftsx4
21sx3
Lat pulldownsx3
Concentrated curlsx3
DB rowsx3
Hammer curlsx3

And if I'm still feeling it, I'll do something like bent over rows and then normal curls. Most likely not though.

I think I'm seeing bicep improvement. Lower back I can't tell, nor lats

This is just my opinion. But i think Back and Biceps together is retarded. Your already working your biceps with all your back movements, you will be fatigued for your biceps movements if you had an intense back workout. So this is what i do:

Monday: Back/Traps
Tuesday: Shoulders/Triceps
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Legs
Friday: Chest/Biceps

Putting chest with triceps and back with biceps isn't retarded, it's genious. Just remember to hit the bigger muscles (chest and back) first. Sure, you won't curl as much after your back workout as you would otherwise, but that doesn't mean your biceps don't get a great workout!

Why the hell would you insist on hitting biceps and triceps, two teeny-weeny muscle groups, twice a week while only working heavy artillery (chest, back, legs) once? They need less work than the bigger ones, not more, they should be secondary. Would only make sense if you're bb'ing for pussy and showing off and are a ripped myspace kid otherwise.

Like i said, it's my opinion, do what you'd like. But I've gotten much better results doing it my way.

Your basically telling me that biceps and triceps aren't as important as the other muscles in your body.

Listen when your done working back, your biceps will be thrashed. Which means doing curls afterwards is pointless. Hence why you put them on another day so you can hit them from diff angles.

Dorian Yates did the exact same split as me, and he said he did it for the same reason.

Right, biceps and triceps are way smaller than other muscle groups and need less work. The bigger the muscle, the more work it needs. I won't do 20+ sets for my shoulders like I do for my legs.

Well there ya go, your biceps are worked. I have usually done 6 or so sets for my biceps after my back workout, half of them being chin-ups which are still a compound exercise and work lats as well. I've seen nice gains in both bi/tri strength and mass, I even feel my arms are progressing faster than my chest/back. So I might as well cut the tri/bi isolation exercises out and add some compounds.

do what you want man. We all have our different ways of approaching training. I get results that's all that matters. I enjoy doing it the way i do it.
