Need back help

Bruh hit the pull-up bar. Get you a pull-up assist for extra reps. You could even use a resistance band.

Volume is best for the back, row row row.

I like a 3:1 pull/push ratio in general.

Best advice I can give about doing more chin ups is to do as many as you can do with good form and as many variations as you can. I stay between 3-7 reps where I can best maintain form and control. My goal is to be able to do 1 arm chin-ups, but my strength still has a ways to go before that's even conceivable. Till then I'll just focus on increasing my rep range one workout at a time.

And far as what lifts I do for back/lats:
Wide grip and underhand close grip lat pulls, barbell upright rows, t-bar rows, DBell pullovers, V-bar rows.

ETA: I like warming up with pull/chin ups for almost any workout, but on days where I'm specifically focusing on back/lats or biceps/triceps I'll do circuits of different pull ups and chin ups. As someone mentioned before, repetition is key.

OP, I use to struggle with back. Couple of suggestions.

Buy one of those pullup bars for your doorway, and every time you walk under it, knock out as many pullups as you can.

Secondly, buy a pull up bar and do Recon Ron Pullup program. If you stick with it, you'll jump up in reps quickly.

Look up chin up progressions. Use inverted rows, then racked chins, then chins. Do heavy deads, heavy strict strict rows or pendlay rows and as many chins as possible.

Start using grease the groove method on chins too. Go out and do one or two sub max sets a few times a day. Or hand one from a door way and Everytime you pass, do a set
