Barbell rows vs deadlifts

Under hand grip hits the lats much more then over hand.

Overhand more upper back?

My experience too, but I'm forcing my hands in a position it doesn't like unfortunatly.

I mighy try it with an EZ bar, never did that

Yes, straight bars will hurt your wrist, but certain machines allow for a good underhand grip and ez curl bars are good.

Keep in mind bent-over rows with palms up targets the biceps more as well so you might need to take that into consideration to work around arm day.

I like chest supported rows and seal rows with a cambered bar, both with about a one second pause at the top of each rep. I alternate vertical and horizontal pulling every time I'm in the gym.

Deadlift is obviously awesome. Personally since you don't compete in powerlifting I think you'd get more of what you're looking for pulling from 3-5" blocks or with a high handle trap bar because you could handle more weight. A few sets in the 6-10 rep range or work up to one all out crazy set. When I do that it lights my upper back, rhomboid, and traps up like nothing else.

I tend to agree with block or rack pulls for ya. In another post seen you, @350lift get more lat activation with dumbbells, have you tried meadows rows or 1 arm barbell rows?

Love meadows rows, but I like compound lifts which is why I was thinking barbell for upper back and dumbells for lats some upper back and further range of motion

I like Pendlay rows for upper back a lot. Four sets of five is killer. For me, personally, I like the reset between reps because I feel like I get more back involvement and less leg drive.

Those have to hit lower back alot if you dont have a strong core.
