how is my back/bi workout?

[omart93]

pull ups
bent over barbell row ..
deadlifts
close grip underhand lat pull down

preacher curls
hammer curls

all exercises are performed with the 3 sets and the reps are 12-10-8.. except deadlift which is 10-8-6

so.. how is this for my back and bicep day? anything i should add or remove? also, can someone please say what muscles are targeted with barbell rows and with deadlifts, and is it a good idea to keep them both on the same day? Thank you

If that is the order you plan on doing them, I would move deadlifts first. Personal opinion too but I would change the rep scheme and work in lower reps and increase intensity. Just my thoughts.

That's a great routine, deadlifts first with lower reps for power would be an idea like the other guy said though.
I don't see why you would do the underhand grip lat pull-downs if you can do chin-ups though. But it doesn't really make a difference.
I like that you have both a bicep and a forearm dominant curl, but I would cycle through a whole bunch every workout anyway, just for variation.
For example...
week 1: Preacher/hammer
week 2: bb/concentration
week 3: db/reverse grip

Don't forget about T-bar rows either, they are a great way to work the central section of your upper back such as rhomboids and lower traps.
Good day sir!

This is how my back day looks..

Deadlifts 4x5
Bent-over row overhand & reverse grip (superset) 3x10
One-arm DB row 3x10
Pull-ups 3xfailure
Preacher Curls 3x10
Incline Curls 3x10
Cross-body hammer curls 3x8

Do it in this order. I added shrugs to your back workout and replaced preacher curls with spider curls, as the latter hits the biceps better. The hammer curl is a forearm exercise, so I added cable curls as well. 6 sets is enough volume.

I placed rows after deadlifts because you'll have an easier time doing it after deadlifts as opposed to before. Also, stick to sets of 5 when it comes to the deadlift. You seem like a newbie and you should be concentrating on performing the lift with good form.

4xF Pullup
2x5 Deadlift
3x10 Bentover row
3x10 Barbell shrug <<<
3x10 CG UH pulldown

3x10 Spider curl
3x10 Cable curl
3x10 Hammer curl

also, can someone please say what muscles are targeted with barbell rows and with deadlifts, and is it a good idea to keep them both on the same day?

Barbell row = lats/upper back
Deadlift = lower back, core and legs

looks reasonable - the question is how it changes over time - if there's no periodization aspect to it, i'd consider integrating that whether it be rotating exercise through or varying volume and reps schemes and deloads. barbell rows are primarily for the lats and middle upper back deadlifts are primarily for the glutes, spinal erectors, hams, and lats. it's fine doing them on the same day - my only caution might be that if you're doing some intense deads your lower back is going to have a tough time staying on position on barbell rows.

It's fine, I've seen a lot worse however I would question wether or not you need a back/bi day at 145lb?

How is his weight relavent? A pull routine can help anyone, no?

I pull routine can help anyone yes, I certainly don't have anything against it.

If someone is 145lb at 5'10'' it's a fair assumpstion they're new to lifting, with the limited info available I am assuming OP is a new lifter & thinking he may be better suited to basic programs like full bodys or an upper/lower split at this stage in hs training.
