Dumbells - 1 arm bent over rows
Barbell - Bent over rows, bench pulls

Best lat exercise - pull downs/pull ups/chin ups

You can also do machine pulley rows if you have a cable which you can connect stuff to.

the king has to be the pull down. Hit them with a combo of grips and handles and incorporate them into supersets. the key is variety.

deads should form a part of any good routine anyway.
