Hey, /fit/, so I started lifting about 4 months ago. I'm really pleased with my progress, but not with my back. I hate working out my back. The range of motion is more limited and I never go away feeling satisfied. As of now, I basically stick to wide rows and neutral grip bent-over rows.
Anyone have any good tips or insights for working out your back with dumbbells? Care to share routines, etc.
Pic related, my goal back m8s.
Thanks guys.
I am also interested in this
dumbbell rows and pullups are your friends. Also face pulls and a rowing machine if you have one available.

Are you referring to one handed dumbbell rows?
I do my workouts at home, by the way, so I don't have a rowing machine, nor do I think I have a way to do face pulls.

Weighted chinups, heavy rows and heavy standard deadlifts are really all you need for adding that raw, thick mass to the upper/mid back.
Throw in a few stiff-legged/romanian deadlifts and back hyperextensions for that juicy lower back valley action.

go online and find a pullup bar you can install in a door frame. The 2 best kinds are the ones that you screw a brace into the wall, and the other one is a bigger looking thing that latches onto the door frame from the back and doubles as a pushup station (dont use them for push ups but this is a good pullup bar)
T bar rows
I should start doing BB rows again. I also personally hate one arm DB rows because I never really felt in control of my back if that makes sense (just felt my posture was shit).
fwiw, my back routine:
5x5 T-Bar rows
4x12 lat pull downs
4x12 seated cable rows
I'm starting assisted pull ups as well since I still can't do them.

Do facepulls really do a lot for your back? I always thought of it for shoulders.
seriously m8 fuck dumbells
what you wanna work on for a sweet back is the front lever and some one arm chinup training
like work towards a front lever and do chinups with very little assistance from your second arm
that and heavy deadlifts = ninja turtle mode
I fucking love weighted pullups. High-point of every week. I started them instead of barbell rows because I could absolutely not figure out the fucking movement. No matter how much I read about advice or tinkered with the movement I always experienced back pain.
