If you see improvements, then it is enough.

I weigh too much to get a good set of pullups in. I have to do pulldowns. Maybe hes in the same boat. Bump on the bent rows.

Hello matt. I just installed bar dip and pull up bar in the living room. fuck those pull ups are crazy. i tried one for the first time in over 30 yrs. using a wide grip i got my head to touch the bar. Pretty tough for this old man at 276 lbs.

whatever works for you, I personally like Deads, Bent over rows, pulldowns and seated rows with a close grip

i don't believe in a preset # of sets or # of reps per set. whatever it takes to reach failure. i'd say focus more on not overtraining if u are new.
