Are any imbalances possible if I leave out barbell & db rows?
I've always felt like I get a lot more out of pull-ups & chins.

I would say whatever works best. Try it and see. I actually just tried doing this a couple months ago I swear. I was doing my usual HIT routine and was only doing heavy chins for lats/back width. But in my case, I totally noticed that I was losing rear delt mass and upper lat mass. So I switched back to doing both.Are any imbalances possible if I leave out barbell & db rows?

Couldn't have said it better myself:goodpost:Rows develope back thickness while pullups develop width. definately don't leave them out.
Exactly.Rows develope back thickness while pullups develop width. definately don't leave them out.
Deads are great. When done correctly they will cause your entire back to grow including you rear delts and traps. But you still really need to include all three if you want to keep your back in proportion.but what about deadlifts, won't they develop back thickness as well
You start DCing yet G?some form of pull ups (or pull downs), some form of deads (from the floor or rack) and some form of rows (db, bb, cable, or t-bar) are essential to developing a good back (both wide and thick)
its helpful to think of back as two different muscle groups (back width and back thickness)
Not to go too far off topic, but that is one perfect ass in your avatar.. DAYUM! :thumbsup:Here's a stupid question for you guys, on something I've never quite understood. Just exactly is the difference between back width and back thickness? I have no mental image of what each is supposed to represent.
