This is the right way to bring up a weak point honestly. Specialise, drop the rest to maintenance, run it 10-14 weeks. People spread volume evenly and wonder why nothing changes.

Saving this. My back is my worst area and I've been doing one lazy row at the end of pull day. Clearly the problem.

That'll do it. Move it to the front, add a second row pattern, control the negatives, and give it a few months. You'll see it.

How are you progressing it week to week - adding reps, weight, or sets?

Reps first within the range, then weight when I hit the top of the range on all sets, and I add a set or two every few weeks up to a cap. Slow and boring but it works.

Boring and works is the whole secret. Great write-up, appreciate you laying it all out.
