not much use if you don't do:
1.) barbell bench
2.) deadlift
3.) squat
4.) OHP

I really don't know how to work my back :|
Aside from pull ups I can't feel anything in my lats or rhomboids.
I did DB rows today, BB rows, machine rows and I only feel my triceps and shoulders activating. I feel a little bit in my back, but only when I use really light weight, as in I can do 30 reps lightweight. It's weird, it's like my triceps just take over.
Same with lat pulldowns, can't feel anything in my lats, go figure.

Easy.
Heavy deadlifts.
Heavy pendlay rows, aka bent over barbell rows, but you put the weight down and start from a deadstop.
If these 2 exercises dont work your back properly, then you doing it wrong.
ps. if you use triceps on a pull exercise, you doing it wrong. Biceps yes, triceps no. Triceps definitely activate in push exercises.
pps. Heavy deadlifts help make some of the most beautiful back sculptures I have seen.
speaking of which, i've noticed the gym is really deserted these past weeks. gotta love ;D

Just googled Pendlay Rows, wow that looks uncomfortable. But I can really see it working because so far all my rowing movements tend to move the weight into my chest, where as this seems to move it more into the sternum, maybe that puts more focus on the back.
As for Deadlifts, I used to do them, I'll start again, it just became such a hassle putting away all those plates eventually.

I lol'd at rippletits
But you don't do any of those 4 lifts? Granted their DB counterparts are just as good if not better (except ofc deadlift/squat)
I do seated OHP (dumbbell shoulder press rather) and dumbbell bench. and front squats instead of back squats. also, sumo deadlifts (granted, haven't done them in ages) as opposed to conventional. Guess that makes me a poofter in the eyes of the elite
