Pretty good, set my PR on incline db press. 100lb x 9 clean reps


when it comes to back training I feel than even if I only do 4 sets of heavy heavy deadlifts and then 4 sets of heavy heavy pulldowns then my back is destroyed. and doms are insane next 2-3 days. so I decided to do only 3 heavy exercises. some pople can say that Im doing more sets for my chest than back. Yeah - but see - fly's and crossovers arent really THAT taxing . but if I decided to add another back exercise what would you suggest? I mean with every set of my workout I somehow loose focus ;/ so sometimes I feel like I had a better workout even if I did 8 sets instead of 16...
 
You cn try finishing off your back with some bodyweight inverted rows on rings or suspended barbell.
Even though it's not massive resistance, you can focus on good form and contracting the back muscles well.

Then you could also finish off with some pullovers or stiff arm pulldowns to squeeze the lats.
