: Are stiff legged deadlifts and renegade rows enough to fulfill a back exercise requirements? Particularly over bent over rows, which I don't like doing. And pull ups, which I cant do yet and don't have a bar in any case.

I wouldn't call stiff leg (or romanian) deadlift a back exercise. Yes you use your lower back / traps, but it's not a good substitute for a row or pull-up where you train your lats.

It would be better to do inverted rows or dumbell rows in order to become strong enough to do pull-ups.
