Hence the stiff leg deadlifts. Though I think I'll switch them to rack pulls. Interestingly, I was reading an experiment where a subject was hooked up to an EMG to test muscle fiber activation with various exercises and heavy rack pulls also seem to activate back muscles nearly as well as pull ups and weighted chin ups and far better than heavy bent over rows. Again, I don't know how much lower weight will affect the biomechanics of the movement, but I might need to swap out the barbell rows.
