what do you mean by dumbbell row, you mean where you pick up the dumbbell from the ground?

pendlay row and power cleans will give you a monster back tho

 

[Angel On The Rag]

Deads, Rack Pulls, Inverted Rows, KROC Rows, High Pulls

 

[vert]

deadlifts

pulls/chins and advancing to weighted ones

any type of row, but probably t-bar row and 1 arm dbell rows using heavy weight are the most useful..

 

[HookersandIceCream]

Deadlifts
Bent over dumbbell curls
Weighted pull ups

Deads

Bent over row

weighted pull ups

cleans

Variations of pulls ups are all you need. Wide grip, close grip, underhand, weighted, while holding a medicine ball with your legs, burpee to jump and pull up, pullup with superset leg raise, pullup with a towel..

Personally I don't like any free weight rows. Bent over/Pendlays, I feel like they put too much strain on the lower back. Dumbbell rows, too much room to cheat, and I feel like I don't get the full ROM I want. For me, weighted chins, seated cable rows, Hammer Strength behind the back rows, t bar rows and deads are where its at. I have a good mind/muscle connection w/my lats, so exercises that distract that connection = no good to me.

I do heavy ass dumbbell rows resting the weight on the floor between reps

 

[TRBM]

DB pullovers

close grip pull downs (can't think of what they're called)
