Pull ups in my opinion are key. Slow and get that full stretch and contraction and bam!

Heavy seated rows, lat pulldown, close grip pull down, bent over rows, multiple angle pull-ups. Pull-ups have done more for me than anything.
Front squats. Itll keep your back healthier

On the chest supported rows after you finish the set you can do partials/shrugs til you burn out.

Thanks trukker. Will try that.
High rep high volume Kroc rows. 15-25 reps. Do 6-8 sets then finish off with 3-4 sets of ring rows.
Unless you have access to the sorinex hurricane. If you do, set the handles in the lowest position and get after it. Do 2 sets with the handles in each position and and extra 2 sets at the end of meadow rows.

I actually do have access to it. Their equipment was provided to USAF special operators when I was in. I can have that within a week. Good call on that. Thanks.
The hurricane is the best piece of equipment for back thickness just go crazy with it, make up exercises if you would lie. Options are endless. One of the best pieces of equipment in my garage.
It's what west side uses as their go to for back work.

Everyone is going to give you an opinion of varying effectiveness. I'd say that you know your body better than anyone else. Listen to it. I'd go with the basics and build from there. There is no secret exercises. Everything has been out there for decades.
Good luck.
I am not sure how do you pendley row more than regular row, you can use momentum on regular rows, pendley row has a deadstop which is basically the hardest part of a lift (compare deadstop deadlifts and touch and go). On topic knee level rack pulls are ultimately the best back thickness exercise I have ever done, rotate your elbow in and flex your lats on every rep, push your belly button into the barbell and lift, no bouncing reset on every rep you do

This!!!! I've found the body parts that I don't worry about how much weight I'm using and put my ego aside blow up compared to when I go train with a big head and try to push big numbers.
I never went crazy on back as far as weight goes. I grabbed what I could do for a nice controlled movement, with about 45secs tut and without even putting thought into it my back blew up. Same with my shoulder work, yet chest days I always want to push those big numbers and it's still my lagging body part.

Good to hear because I can't go heavy due to the back surgery. Thanks bro.

Will the T Bar rows add stress to the other discs around your fusion?
Also, what kind of heart issue do you have brother?

Yeah I've tried the T bar and the initial movement really bothers my back. Unless I kept it to one 45 on the bar. Which I've have to bang out many reps with such a low weight. I have dialated cardiomyopathy, a fib, and a flutter bud.

Gotcha...I had a microdiscecomy and I use a belt now. I do limit the weight of current exercises since it may rapture again.
Sorry to hear about your heart.

Its all good bud. I push as much as I can. I listen to my body. It let's me know when to back off.
