ME TOO! I just cant do dead lifts, they put too much stress on my back, hams, and shoulders and frankly I have a long day ahead of me after I go to the gym. A good rule of thumb is to always BUILD muscle with dead weight i.e. dumbells,barbells and tone muscle and tweak muscles with cables and hammer strength machines. BUT, what about assisted pull ups? Im only good for about 4 all natty pull ups and that with pissy form, will 8-10 assisted pull ups be better?

deadlifts are #1. next to that i like supinated bb rows, bent over rows, bend over db rows, pullups and rack pullups.

BACK YESTERDAY...

CHINS 3SETS
REAR DELT RAISES 3SETS
BARBELL ROWS 3SETS..................THEN I WENT HOME.

Barbell rows with an overhand grip are the shit. If I could only do one back exercise, that would be it.

Seated rows, sqeezed, not pulled. Finish up w/deadlifts for feel, not power... 4-6 wks later increase weight

Rack deads, bent barbell rows, chins are best. heavy basics and eat!

Could you do bent over barbell lifts using a smith machine? Im scared to hurt my back doing them free weight.

basics...

to grow
deads, rows to grow, and chins/pulldowns for width. Back is all about angles and grips (over and under) but got to feel it too, but the basics are what put the tissue on

I have become a big fan of rack chins and rack deads. Rack chins are just brutal and add good width

 

[btmagnus]

Bent rows or pulldowns are really good, but I think that deadlifts are most important.
Of course not everyone deadlifts as much as he does, but this guy has got a strong back!

as the other mentioned....

Stick to the basics... Heavy short and intense workouts. Deads/Bent Over Rows/Pull Ups/Dumbell Raises...are a favorite also.
