For traps that makes sense, but it doesn't rack pull mostly work hips?
>>42021484
weighted pull ups for reps for a lot of sets.
or
heavy overhead squats
>>42021484
face pulls or pull overs. after that, probably seal rows
pro-tip: your back is not a single muscle.
>>42021484
Really the only isolations for back muscles aside from rotator cuff ones are shrugs (upper traps), bent over flyes (posterior delts), and straight arm pulldowns (lats).
Personally I like straight arm pulldowns
Heavy bent over rows with a bit of added momentum

Seconding bent over barbell rows. On paper they're inefficient/inferior to dumbbell or other row variations but I feel like I'm killing back (in a good way) when I do these.
In the end it's all about the mind muscle connection.
PRP.
Pendlay rows, rack pulls, and pullups
>>42023173
cheat rows
Heavy dumbbell rows
>isolation
Just no.
Pull-ups (varied grips and weighted, if ur strong enough), deadlift, rack pulls.
This is all you need.
>>42023346
Rack pulls are fucking shit
>>42021484
just do only deadlifts and literally no other back exercises at all
Cheat answer: Single arm DB Row.
all dem angle and grip variations. even hitting QL's if its not supported

In no way are dumbbell rows more efficient than bent over barbell rows.
