Looking for guidance on a back workout routine. I rotate between three groups: legs, chest, back. Not super strict, just as often as I can get into the gym. I am at the point where I have started to add in more free weights and less machines. Found some good ones for legs and chest, but not as many for back. Plus the machines I use for back seem pretty good anyway. Also, some places online listed deadlift as a back workout but it seems like more of a leg workout to me.

like the SLDL (stiff leg deadlift, hamstring dominant) or rdl (romanian deadlift, glute dominant)

Are they still good if you do dumbbell variants of these exercises?

Still better than the deadlift, however I prefer barbells over dumbbells on this one. Much easier to progressive overload on imo
