if u look back at the rest of my back routines you'll notice barbell rows are pretty much included every single time, for me to use a smith machine for bentover rows is rare. Over-hand grip barbell rows are possibly my favorite movement for that bodypart,those plus T-bars and deadlifts. With deadlifts the weight I do depends. If I'm doing them at any point in my workout other than first, it means i'm going for reps and that means I usually do about four sets:225/15,275/12,315/8-10,365/7or8. If I start out with deads first I go up a plate at a time once im warmed up my max being 500 (495 with a 2.5 plate added to each end). At this point in time I havnt got a clue what my one rep max is for deadlifts but it's probably somewhere close to 500 because that shit just does not get any lighter!
