If you are still trying to keep it at 3 exercises, try these:
1. Deadlifts
2. Reverse-Grip Chins
&
3. DBELL Rows. To avoid any strain, you can put your ass up against the wall for support. This should aleviate any & all strain you might have had with straightbar rows.

you will need to use some freeweight and compound moves if you wanna put on some meat on your back.
Pull-ups, dumbell rows, deadlifts etc.

Here's an example of the Dbell rows to which I am referring bro. This guy is bent over too far though in my opinion, and his head is down too, which I consider bad form. The correct form, would be to be standing at a 45 degree angle, rather than this dudes 90. Keep your head facing forward, and if you want, put your ass against the wall. Hope that helped.

Haha!
Appreciate all the ideas. I've been lifting for over a year and a half now and only recently got serious about it. I've actually never done Deads because my buddy I lift with says we're not bodybuilders (He associates Deads with BBers for some reason).
And Chins I suck at, so that's probably a good place to start. The "strain" I mentioned has to do with having 2 collapsed lungs on the left side in the past. It really seems to bother me for some reason when doing bent over rows and it's not a feeling I enjoy so I stay away from them. =\
Will incline rows work just as well? They don't bother me at all.

As much as I respect the fact that some people are just easily amused
, I am failing to see the hilarity in leaning up against a stupid wall while doing rows guys. If you're worried about looking gay, then might I suggest leaning against the flat part of the wall, and staying away from the corners, thus avoiding any ambiguity about wether you are in fact lifting, or instead performing some sort of "unknown only to gays" form of masturbation or something. I guess some people have to be told these things, or they will immediately throw a gay angle into the mix. Strange how that is Anyhow dude, I'll try one more time. If you are going to try these Incline rows, then you might as well just stick with T-Bar (and by "T-Bar" I am not referring to a g-string, but rather the exercise, for those whos minds tend to stray into ass jokes) Rows. If your gym has one with a tri-angled bar, then you could do 2 sets at each 3 angles, and have done some real nice thickness work right there. You could finish up with 2 sets each of Lat pulls, then your seated rows bro, and you will have done a reasonably well-rounded back routine. I say "reasonably", because you havn't really addressed the spinal erectors yet, which you can accomplish by adding 2 sets of Deadlifts at the end of this routine. 2 sets of 10 will suffice--or whatever you feel works best. If you then wanted to train Back & Traps in the same workout, you, by doing deads at the end of your back routine, will have already done 2 sets for traps as well, thereby killing 2 birds with one stone so to speak.
Hope that helps there laughing boy. J/K bro.

Hehe no offense dude, I don't see the gay part in it either, that's why it was funny because it caught me offguard.
Thanks for the tips, this looks like exactly what I need to do. Is the T-Bar just the wide grip bar?
I'll have to throw in some deads at the end then and some chins as well. Appreciate all the feedback!
