Texas Method question...

[powerhawk]

Does this look like too much back work in a TM routine?

Mon:
Power Cleans 5x3
BW Pullups 2xX

Weds:
BB Rows 3x5

Fri:
Deadlifts 1x5
Weighted Pullups 3x5

On a side note, do you think rows are even necessary to build a big and powerful back?

I do not consider lats to be "back" work, since they operate the arms. Rows are a good, but not fundamental, exercise that are waaaay more popular on the internet than they should be.
