My workout partner and I are looking for a good back routine, one where we will feel in the next day or two. What we have been doing is pullups close and wide, hammer strength rows, pulldowns etc. trying to hit all angles of the back. The only exercise I cannot do is dumbbell rows due to a neck injury years ago. We both feel are back are developing but, as the saying goes no pain no gain.
Any help would be appreicated.
Thanks,

My back work varies but pretty much consists of deadlifts followed by pullups and chin ups finishing up with some seated row variation.
I try to keep volume under control, don’t rep out too high and always go as heavy as possible, keeping the deads to the lower end of the rep spectrum and trying to get around 20-25 or so pullups and chinups, adding weight as progression.
Just my 2 cents, but I attribute most of my back growth to deadlifts and pullups.

You both are doing your current routine for how long?
And what is the current routine?
And you are just feeling changes or you are seeing changes?
And if you are seeing changes why would you change what is working?
On another note and this works for every bodypart, i think you and your workout partner will be more happy in finding ways to make an exercise more productive, than just finding another routine.
