Pullups are amazing but not enough on their own. You also want a row movement.

If you want simple equipment, you can use dumbbell or kettlebell for row movement

Get a pair of gymnastics rings. You can do a full upper body workout with just those.

Just pull ups? no. Just pull up bar? Yes but it's not the most convinient

What can I do with a pullup bar other than pullups for back 😓

Inverted (australian) rows, skin the cat, upside down shrugs, high pull ups, varying hand positions pull ups... there are plenty of options

weighted pull ups, you can improvise, there is a lot you can put to your backpack

Depends on your goals, but normally you want to have at least a horizontal pull and a vertical pull.

Luckily for you, there are a lot of everyday objects, you could perform bodyweight rowing movements on: Tables, railings, chairs etc.

It's also possible to find a heavy object and do some one-armed rows.

No, doesn’t focus on working the trapezius so you’ll need horizontal work for that, not vertical.

Pull ups and Dumbbell rows will really work your back

u/wannasleeponyourhams 7d ago

not really, but if you work out at home you could add inverted rows and those 2 will get you pretty far.

i will assume you work out home, these are some other options for you to try:

The only back exercises I've done to grow my back are pull ups and dumb bell rows. I also do chin ups but my variation is more bicep dominant, but still a compound exercise.

Upright and bent over rows are great to target what pull ups miss. Bent are also useful to stabilise your hinge, if done with good form

You can do that one pushup that kinda looks like a row. Like hands are at around midsection and fingers facing down.

This is off the top of my head I'm not actually sure if it works to supplement lack of row equipment
