    Why is it that you only have two back exercises and a whole gamut of bicep exercises?

    Peace.

    Post typical number of sets and reps also.

    Is shrugs even considered a back movement?? I thought it was traps.

    Shrugs are for traps but i hear u should put them with back. Here is modified routine:

    How about this

    Deadlifts: 3x8

    Pullups 2xmax

    Dumbbell Shrugs: 3x8

    Dumbbell Curls: 3x8

    Hammer Curls: 3x8

    Wrist curls: 2x10

    Reverse wrist curls: 2x10

    ONCE A WEEK

    Do i need to put it lat pulldowns, cause i heard pull ups work them. Dont want too many exercises

    Biceps/forarms looks fine, but back is very light with just pull ups and deadlifts. Personally I'd get rid of both and add in some row movements or pulldown..I think pullups make an excellent warmup though for back days.
