Today I was comfortably pulling 245lbs for wide grip rows.

Due the the machine limits I need an alternative, my best guess is to substitute my bent over rows as one of my "heavy" back exercises in place of my seated rows and keep the cables around their intended 210 (2 add on 5's) limit so as not ts o break the machine or myself.

any other suggestions?

(I am aware I can go extra slow etc but that will only delay my need for a substitute and I already do roughly a 3-1-3 count)

...of course I do most of the staples already, pull ups/chin ups, dumbbell rows, reverse bench press (pull up from UNDER the bar while flat) reverse flye's etc...
Do you mean pulldowns...????

List your back workout, including reps and sets and also your rep timing..
