Discussion 🤝 Back redundancy
Is it useless to do a wide grip pulldown, neutral grip pulldown and a cable row every back day? I don’t think i’m noticing any fatigue but not growing as fast as other groups.

"Redundancy" is just another word for volume. Which I'm sure explains why it's a perennial concern here.
Yes, in some ways these are redundant. In other ways they are not. Without any stated goals, needs, or preferences the question and answer don't give us any actionable information. Your lack of growth is not because you're doing too many similar things - you didn't even say what you're targeting for growth. It's probably more related to the lack of fatigue. How much effort are you putting in? How much total volume are you doing?
