Rows are a general back excercise, it doesnt specifically target anything, but its a good compound'ish excercise that cant do much wrong.
Pulldowns and pull-ups are pure upper back
Pull-ups are generally good for the positional muscles, pulldowns are the actual muscle builders for upper back, cause you can really get an inch perfect form and controlled motion troughout, with various grips and wideness of grips.
For example alternating wide grip pulldown, and then triangle bar pulldown, are excellent to build lats and central upper core

A buddy of mine has lost 19KG... i asked him what his best tip was to lose weight.. he said he only drinks water.... never EVER drink Coca cola, pepsi or whatever you like as a soda again... not even the Light / zero shit...
Drink water like a motherfucker and you are bound to lose weight... I stopped drinking it and lost a KG in less than a week

Basically I have a glass of water with every meal, either with a diet soda or just with concentrate. Apparently the colder the water the better because your body burns calories reacting to raise your body temperature.
I work out 2 or 3 times per week, i stopped for 3 months and now i start back this month, one hour per session. i'm not interested in becaming huge, just keeping in shape and strenghting the muscles, i usually work either my back, torse or shoulders by session, i work the triceps when i work my back and the biceps when i finished working the torse, and i do legs from time to time. Light schedule, I'm open to any suggestions.

However, from at least cola light, i can confirm its totally harmless, and can be looked at as a more acid version of water with a taste some (like me) like
There have been claims that cola light, and other aspartane based drinks, cause cancer. It doesnt, and i'll explain why.
Aspartane breaks down in 2 amino acids , aspargine acid and phenyl analine, and methanol.
Methanol is a toxic that causes blindness. However, that requires a certain dose. The amount of methanol formed from the aspartane in a glass of cola light, is less then the methanol formed from a glass of orange juice. Its far to tiny to have any effects.
However, when they tested it on rats, they gave such an immense overdose, that methanol was present in significant amounts, leading to cancer.
The reason why you lost weight, is dehydration. Its common used by athletes in a weight cathegory to make their group. However, if you drink sufficient water tomorrow, that kilogram will be back immediatly.
Your friend simply stopped drinking sugar based soda, and its damn good he did.
If YOU want to lose weight, then drink gallons of water and work out. High hydration helps the breakdown of fat and increases the effectivity of cardio
I've lost 6 kg and that's purely from cutting carbs (rice, pasta, pizza, noodles etc.) and sugar - maybe I have a cheat day once a week with a small piece of cake, but I drink purely water, and my source of carbs would be potatoes or bread (wholemeal), and I take those mostly in the morning.
Sadly one year later on I'm being complacent and starting to eat some sushi (rice) and pizza once a week or something... I hope the weight doesn't come back on lol
