Much respect to all of you for watching these and supporting the channel! I hope this was helpful!
RELATED LINKS & PLAYLISTS MENTIONED
In this one I discuss, what are in my opinion, the 3 most important keys for effective back training. Each session should have 3 main parts. A HEAVY section, a HARD section and a HOLD section. I explain what each of those means and give exercises, reps and sets for each. I hope some of you will find this helpful!

My deadlift has been slacking on the lockout as of recently and I want to pull 500 soon, so I think I’ll start doing those heavy 18” pulls on the days in which I train legs and back. Then I’ll do my pressing on the other day, but right now I’m focused on my bench press anyways, put up 315, and break a record at my school that way

Do bodyweight until you can do 10+ with good form. Then add 5-10 pounds until you can do 10+ reps with good form. Then when you're getting strong, add more weight and do less reps. By this point you'll start figuring out what works for you.

The problem with the row is that it puts a lot of stress on the lower back and spinal erectors. It's hard to do a lot of unsupported rowing volume without risking injury.

I have to disagree man, in my opinion, if you are feeling rows in your lower back then your hips and the barbell are not in the right position. I never feel the pressure in my lower back bu the bar stays over the middle of my foot the entire time.

i am in a hypertrophy phase and i took deadlifts out of my routine why? simple because the rep range is like this : 10, 8, 6, 4, 2. The more the reps the more i lose my focus and form. also i never kinda felt the pump with deadlifts so instead i just put different row variations. Should i just do elevated deadlifts though? to eliminate the legs? i am around 6'3 so for me its kinda pain in the ass to take a correct form rep after rep on deadlifts
