I think I've found my back workout. I ditched the close-grip rows in favor of some more independent movement with the alternating twisting rows on the double pulley machine. I used the cadence right, left, right, left, both, both, repeat (which would count as 4 reps) for most of the sets and adjusted accordingly for the numbers. By the time the back finisher rolled around I could barely hit any pull-ups. I also got even more concentration curls in this week, so it may be time to add in some omni-pauses to the final set next week.
